Program business ILS opportunity - Shevawn Barder, AM Re Syndicate - Artemis ILS NYC 2022 interview
Episode 98, Apr 11, 2022, 09:20 AM
Shevawn Barder, CEO of reinsurance managing general agent (MGA) AM Re Syndicate spoke with us in a recent interview to discuss the opportunity for insurance-linked securities (ILS) investors in program business.
For this one of our sponsor showcase video interviews, for the upcoming Artemis ILS NYC 2022 conference (held April 22nd in New York City), we welcomed Shevawn Barder, CEO of AM Re Syndicate, one of our Bronze sponsors for the conference.
AM Re is a reinsurance managing general agent (MGA) and writes a diversified book of business, while leveraging capital partners support.
With the ILS market increasingly keen to access differentiated sources of risk, AM Re is also looking to partner with new and alternative capital sources, so we thought it would be interesting to hear Shevawn’s take on the market opportunity right now.
"ILS investors clearly have an appetite for program business, ILS markets are moving into program business because this market is currently hard and expected to hold for 2022 and beyond," Barder explained.
Adding that, "For 2022 we're seeking to bring in new strategic ILS partners, investors to replace lost capacity in certain lines of business and we're also expecting to launch our E&S carrier, ASI, authorised out of Arizona."
