Descartes Underwriting

[Webinar] 🌀 Hurricane season 2026 is coming. Is your clients' coverage actually ready? ✅ Every year, CAT events expose the same structural gap: organizations with solid traditional coverage still face months of uncertainty, illiquidity, and operational strain while claims are processed. High deductibles reduce the initial payout. Loss adjustment takes time, often a lot of it. Meanwhile the operational costs of recovering from a hurricane don't pause for anyone. 💡 The industry knows this. The question is whether we're doing anything about it before the next storm hits. 🎯 Parametric insurance is one of the most practical answers available right now, and the Descartes team is hosting a timely session on April 14 to break down exactly how it works and what the 2026 season is likely to bring. ℹ️ Topics include how parametric triggers work, where traditional towers fall short, industries already using these structures, and what to watch for this hurricane season. ⏲️ 45 minutes. Three sharp panelists. A lot of practical insight. ✔️ Date: April 14, 2026 ✔️ Time: 17:00 CET Register here: https://lnkd.in/eDTFJ9qA Descartes Underwriting 🔊 Share this with anyone preparing for the season ahead.

💡Is US weather volatility the "silent" threat to your 2026 earnings? 🌍If you are an EMEA-based firm with a footprint in North America, whether it’s data centers, solar farms, or logistics hubs, you’ve likely noticed a shift. 🌪️❄️🌨️It’s no longer just about the "Big One" (hurricanes). It’s the frequent, aggressive Severe Convective Storms (SCS), hail, derechos, and tornadoes, that are quietly eroding balance sheets and creating massive coverage gaps. ℹ️Why traditional insurance is no longer enough on its own: ☑️The Deductible trap: Rising retentions mean more loss stays on your books. ☑️The Speed gap: Traditional claims can take months; business interruption happens in minutes. ☑️The Complexity tax: Proving loss for 1,000+ localized solar panels or roof assets is a logistical nightmare. 🎯This is why we are seeing a massive pivot toward Parametric Insurance. It’s not about replacing traditional cover; it’s about injecting liquidity the moment a pre-defined trigger is hit. No loss adjustment. No waiting. Just resilience. ✅Want to see the data behind the shift? My colleagues at Descartes Underwriting are hosting a deep-dive session to share our latest SCS modeling and practical parametric use cases for high-value US assets. 📅 February 11 | 11:00 AM EST 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e_6SQQ4j Link to register 💡Join us to move from reactive recovery to proactive resilience.

Clear triggers. Fast & fair payouts. Large capacity for complex risks.

Even in today’s soft reinsurance market, wildfire, named windstorm, and severe convective storm (SCS) exposures are driving frequent, accumulation-based losses. “Secondary perils” now account for the vast majority of global nat cat insured losses, creating persistent gaps in lower layers that traditional programs struggle to fill. Parametric reinsurance offers a complementary solution: sharper coverage efficiency, faster liquidity access, and stronger protection for earnings volatility. Join our webinar on September 2 at 11am EST / 4pm BST featuring Brian Thompson, CPCU, ARe, Matthew James, and Akshay Sundar for a deep dive into how brokers and industry partners are placing these solutions in practice. They will walk through our approach at Descartes Underwriting, the methodologies behind our parametric structures, use cases, and end with a Q&A. Register here: https://lnkd.in/e9Xe5Qka

Embracing the September 'back to school' energy, join us on 2nd September, online, to talk about how parametric Wildfire, Wind and SCS is increasingly showing up in cedents' reinsurance programmes. Brian Thompson, CPCU, ARe Akshay Sundar and I will be discussing the how, what and why... (The prelude would be that these products require thoughtful design and 'good data', but they're highly bespoke and solve different problems for different buyers, where traditional reinsurance is unable or uneconomical) Register here: https://lnkd.in/eYi4fuVu
