GAM & Swiss Re Investing in ILS Webinar Series: Demystifying Quota Shares

Upcoming events : 24 September 2026

This webinar explains how quota share reinsurance structures operate within the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market and how investors participate in sharing premiums and losses.

Quota share arrangements are a traditional reinsurance structure in which investors participate in a (re)insurer’s portfolio, sharing both premiums and losses. In this webinar, Graham Diack, Portfolio Manager at Swiss Re Insurance-Linked Strategies (Swiss Re ILS), and Rom Aviv, Head of Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) at GAM Investments, will discuss how quota shares work in practice and the considerations involved in their use within ILS portfolios.

Topics will include:

  • How quota share arrangements are structured and how they operate
  • The role of underwriting, sourcing, and portfolio management infrastructure
  • The relationship between local market expertise and portfolio diversification
  • The use of inherited leverage within quota share structures
  • The application of analytics and catastrophe modelling in portfolio construction and risk assessment
