ILS Today Launch Exclusive Insurance-Linked Securities Online Social Network

Nov. 16, 2007 - PRLog -- Open Source Risk Modelling; what does this mean for the future of the insurance-linked securities market? Recently, Vinay Mistry, Manager of Exposure Management and Franchise Performance at Lloyd’s of London discussed the idea. He argued, “An open source platform would give other developers access to source code and interfaces, which would permit them to develop and integrate modules independently”.

This is just one of the issues to be discussed on the brand new online social network launched by a new insurance-linked securities market information provider called ILS Today.

The social network is free to join and designed specifically for ILS and cat bond professionals, and is full of interactive tools. It allows users to take part in live debates, read industry peers’ personal blogs and receive information that focuses on the latest insurance-linked securities issues.

The site also collates the latest news and developments to make it easy to keep in touch with what’s happening in the ILS market.

The social network has been developed alongside the European ILS and Cat Bond Summit 2008 which takes place on 7-8 February.

The summit agenda has been written with the input of some of the most leading authorities in ILS and will be presented by the most expert line-up of speakers to assemble in Europe to date. Speakers include Rodrigo Araya (Moody’s Investors Service), Luca Albertini (Swiss Re), Michael Pinsel (Sidley Austin), Dr Milan Simic (AIR Worldwide) and Vinay Mistry (Lloyds of London) amongst many others.

Talking about the event, Vinay Mistry said, “There are a number of factors now converging to highlight the growing importance of cat bonds and ILS, and a combination of these make it an interesting time for the insurance industry and capital providers to see what the next stage of developments will be”..

The summit is completely independent and will make sure issuers, sponsors and investors are given a concise guide to guarantee their success and long-term competitiveness in the ILS and cat bond market. It provides a superb opportunity for you to make contact with new clients and solution providers, and will ensure that you are correctly positioned to benefit from the rapidly expanding ILS market.
