Having reported another quarter of double-digit revenue growth for its catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) related activities, Greg Case the CEO of broking giant Aon also highlighted parametric risk transfer as another area he sees activity levels as exceptional in.
\n<\/span>
\n\"greg-case-aon-ceo\"Reporting its first-quarter results today, Aon disclosed 4% organic revenue growth in its Reinsurance Solutions business, but within that was continued expansion of its catastrophe bond and ILS activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cReinsurance with 4% organic revenue growth was driven by growth in treaty placements and double-digit growth in both facultative placements and insurance-linked securities,\u201d Aon CFO Edmund Reese explained during a first-quarter earnings call just now.<\/p>\n

Adding that, \u201cThis growth was partially offset by the impact of a multi-year extension with a significant client at higher limits and adjusted commission.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking ahead to the second quarter, we expect softer market conditions with April 1 property rates in both the US and Japan down 5% to 20%.<\/p>\n

\u201cImportantly, we expect full-year organic revenue growth in-line with our mid-single digit or greater objective, as we see a strong second-half driven by higher limits at July 1 renewals, continued growth in our international facultative placements and strength in our strategy and technology group.\u201d<\/p>\n

CEO Case also suggested demand for reinsurance limit is expected to rise at the mid-year renewals, reflecting expectations from others in the market at this time.<\/p>\n

Greg Case discussed the organic revenue metric for the reinsurance division at Aon during the call as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThink about what\u2019s going on in reinsurance right now for us, we\u2019re building our core momentum and really this is what we do at a segment level with our clients, but really differentiating on analytics.\u00a0What we\u2019ve invested in Aon Business Services and with Risk Capital has been really, for us, meaningful, really tour-de-force.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re winning more than ever before in this context, on the reinsurance and the commercial risk side, and this Risk Capital construct is also meaningful,\u201d Case said.<\/p>\n

Continuing to explain that, \u201cYou know, the level of cat bond and parametric work we\u2019re doing is exceptional and driven by Risk Capital and the strategic technology group also reinforcing and driving progression.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, the 4% which you know, it\u2019s treaty placements, it\u2019s double-digit growth in facultative, another double digit growth in insurance-linked securities. So net net, it\u2019s strong progression overall.\u201d<\/p>\n

Case also discussed the alternative risk transfer and parametric segments of the broker\u2019s offering, seeing it as an area that is growing.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things that was interesting is alternative risk transfer continues to be highly prevalent, and the work we\u2019re doing with reinsurance in the commercial risk arena on alternative risk transfer is substantial,\u201d Case explained.<\/p>\n

Later he highlighted a recent parametric risk transfer win for Aon, saying, \u201cWe just did a massive, I think the biggest parametric on a severe convective storm that\u2019s ever been done for a big steel company and it really was in the face of, you know, this new set of risks that are on the horizon and how they can deal with that. So for us, we\u2019re tailoring solutions against this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aon, through its Aon Securities unit, has been a leading broker and investment bank in the catastrophe bond space<\/a> for many years and continues to grow this business as the ILS market expands.<\/p>\n

Now, with use of parametric triggers expanding across insurance and reinsurance, the broker is also finding this risk transfer product another area of incremental revenue growth.<\/p>\n
