Hurricane forecasters are promising a quieter year than the turbulence of 2017 – but ripples of the wake from last year’s storms continue to make themselves felt in the market.

Losses are continuing to be recognised and redistributed, as the industry grapples with the challenge of trying to cut costs, improve margins and deploy capital inflows.

The annual Trading Risk New York Rendez-Vous will gather leading ILS market participants for a day of networking and analysis.

Topics will include:

• Lessons learned from 2017
• Flood insurance – creating new demand
• Prospects for ILS growth
• M&A momentum – how will M&A deals impact ILS market development?
• Surging sidecars – what reinsurer tactics will succeed in taking on ILS capital?
