\n
When I meet someone to record an interview they often ask me how long the podcast is going to be. My stock answer is that it entirely depends upon them. <\/p>\n
Some people talk more than others and some people pack an awful lot into a lot less time, while others take longer to fully express themselves.<\/p>\n
You also never quite know where the conversation is going to go and that is a huge variable. <\/p>\n
Today\u2019s podcast is lively, fun and gets straight to the point. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s because it entirely reflects our interviewee. <\/p>\n
Kevin Gill is the Chairman of IRLA, the Insurance and Reinsurance Legacy Association.<\/p>\n
IRLA is the UK trade body that represents insurance and reinsurance legacy management professionals and this interview will bring you right up to date with everything that is happening in this increasingly mature and sophisticated segment of the marketplace. <\/p>\n
As legacy becomes ever more embedded as an essential, trusted service provider and capital partner for the live market we discuss how that relationship is evolving and where it might end up in the long term.<\/p>\n
The legacy market also has its own cycles independent of the live market and so we look at the relative state of the two markets and how this affects dealmaking.<\/p>\n
We also take the temperature of how the legacy sector feels about some of the more problematic recent live underwriting years, as well as looking at emerging loss trends and prospects for the application of emerging technology such as Ai to the sector.<\/p>\n
The portrait that emerges is of a confident, professionalised and vibrant segment \u00a0that is ready to trade and is looking at interesting growth opportunities as some of the soft-market underwriting years begin to mature. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Kevin is a breath of fresh air and there are no subjects left off the table. <\/p>\n
My bet is that you\u2019ll finish this episode wanting more. <\/p>\n
