Individual and panel interviews with A.M.BestTV
Mark Jennings, senior vice president, Wilmington Capital Securities, said reinsurers and insurers are consolidating because companies are not distinguishing themselves from one another.
Paul Bailie, director, Willis Towers Watson Management (Bermuda), said increased regulation and a greater reliance on data analytics have insurance managers expanding their skills and concerns.
Investment managers said captive insurers will benefit from rising interest rates, but not if the rates rise too quickly and depress bond yields and raise collateral requirements.
Dennis Silvia, president, Cedar Consulting, said Bermuda is breaking the mold among mature domiciles by showing a willingness to develop speedy new approaches for the introduction of new products and risk-focused technologies.
Timothy Kovacs, founder and CEO, Global Junction for Alternative Capital Solutions, said market conditions in Latin America are positive in some areas but uncertain in others.
