Reinsurance tailwinds persist via climate risks and capital inflows, even as softening emerges ahead of Jan renewals.
Cat bond market maintains record pace with strong UCITS AUM growth and new sponsor activity, while reinsurance executives emphasize traditional capital's backbone role amid softening rates and abundant capacity.
