Growth in a Soft Market 2026

Soft markets do not reward hesitation. They reward firms that know where new growth comes from.

On 6 May 2026 at the Lloyd’s Old Library ~18:00, join us for an ACII CPD accredited panel discussion chaired by Ola Jacob with:

• Benedict Reid – Commercial and Speciality Insurance Leader, Ernst & Young LLP
• Dr Charlotte Acton – Senior Director, Head of Risk Advisory – Moody’s
• Michael Walsh – Managing Director at Allied World Managing Agency Ltd
• Kristian Mangold – Regional Director EMEA Parametric Nat Cat – Munich Re

As rates soften and competition intensifies, the winners will be those firms that expand the market, unlock under-served risks and use product innovation intelligently.

This senior-level discussion will explore:

• Where indemnity remains the backbone of market leadership;
• Indemnity strategies that have worked in the soft markets of the past ;
• New opportunities in 2026;
• Where Parametric can unlock difficult-to-place and under-served risks; and,
• What does this mean for underwriting strategy, capital deployment and competitive positioning.

This is a practical discussion about how to grow through the next phase of the cycle.

In Partnership with Moody’s & Global Parametrics.
