With the catastrophe bond market growing at a rapid pace, the sector is well-positioned to support a broader sponsor base. The increased participation of large institutional investors, whose ability to deploy meaningful allocations remains a testament to the market’s credibility and scalability, further underscores this strength, Luca Albertini, CEO of Leadenhall Capital Partners LLP told us in an interview.
As per Artemis’ latest quarterly cat bond report, Q3 2025 saw more than $1 billion of catastrophe bond and related ILS issuance recorded, lifting annual issuance to $18.6 billion at the end of the period.
