ILS Will Continue To Drive Risk Financing Efficiency

The insurance-linked securities (ILS) market will continue to drive innovation and efficiency of risk financing for the benefit of protection buyers and investors, according to Twelve Capital's Managing Partner, Christoph Buerer.

Speaking as the keynote at Guernsey Finance's annual ILS Insight event in Zurich, Mr Buerer explored how risks and capital interact on a balance sheet level from risk management and corporate finance perspectives.

"The benefits ILS investments offer are a telling illustration of the value of active investment management. In contrast, by definition, passive investment gives investors significant exposure to below average quality firms," said Mr Beurer.
