The Political Risk Podcast Beyond the Blast: Capital Management of Tomorrow’s Terror Threats
A special episode of the Political Risk Podcast, produced in association with Lockton Re, to examine how the re/insurance market should rethink terrorism risk in an age of volatility.
The conversation is built around the report “Beyond the Blast: Capital Management of Tomorrow’s Terror Threats”, published by Lockton Re in collaboration with Blackthorn.
It features three of the report’s authors: Paul Upton, chairman of specialty, Lockton Re; Niki Whitley, director of advisory, Blackthorn; and George Wragg, senior catastrophe modeller, Lockton Re.
They explore the concerns presented by the report – from the drivers of change in the threat environment, to the need for agile thinking and better data, scenarios and risk modelling – contributing to challenges for terrorism reinsurance to remain relevant and provide capital efficiency.
Here’s a link to the report we’re discussing.
