Our recent discussion with Jillian Williams, Chief Underwriting Officer at Leadenhall Capital Partners, highlighted how the rise of Insurance Linked Securities (ILS) is reshaping the reinsurance industry. Jillian emphasised that ILS is simply another form of capital, offering greater diversity and flexibility in matching risk to capital. With natural catastrophe risks increasing, the need for innovative capital solutions has never been more critical. She also noted the impact on talent, where the blend of technical skills and strong communication is crucial. The constant movement of talent between banks, ILS firms, and reinsurance enriches the sector, fostering creativity and diversity of thought. Take a read at the full article below..

As the adage goes, "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." For many organisations grappling with economic uncertainties and other challenges, the journey towards Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) can feel just as daunting. This article highlights the trends driving DEI and underscores its tangible benefits, offering a framework for senior business leaders to assess their organisation’s progress and identify actionable next steps. In an era where diverse companies outperform their peers and attract top talent, DEI is no longer optional but essential. For financial services firms, upcoming regulatory changes from the FCA and PRA emphasise the need for robust DEI strategies to enhance market stability and integrity. By actively promoting DEI, leaders can drive innovation and success, fostering a more inclusive and equitable workplace. Are you ready to take the next step in your DEI journey? Read on to explore how to align your DEI efforts with your overall business strategy and achieve measurable outcomes https://lnkd.in/eF9BzdCu

In our next roundup, we are pleased to share our latest insights on diversity and inclusion in the insurance industry. 2023 has been a tough year for the economy, but not so much for Insurance. With insurers enjoying a hard market that looks set to continue into the latter end of 2024, and broking undergoing a period of intense investment, firms were more reticent to hire than we might have expected. Yet this reticence can’t last. In fact, the signs point to a more buoyant talent market in the second half of 2024, and this is where firms must take diversity more seriously in their hiring.
