In a few weeks we’ll be back in Hamilton for the BILTIR conference, looking forward to discussing the challenges and opportunities shaping the market.
This year’s agenda makes it clear: scaling without operational complexity has become a board-level priority.
Here are three sessions we’re particularly excited about:
1. Private Credit, Public Impact: Fuelling the Engine of Asset-Intensive Reinsurance
Private credit strategies are reshaping how reinsurers think about asset-liability matching, but the management overhead of these portfolios is huge. Different credit facilities, varying reporting requirements, complex valuation models — it’s exactly the kind of challenge where manual processes break down fast.
We’ve worked with reinsurers to build integrated systems that can handle multiple private credit streams while maintaining the control frameworks regulators expect. In one case, automating the reconciliation between investment accounting and actuarial systems improved accuracy by over 40% within six months while cutting month-end close times dramatically.
Ideas we’ll be comparing notes on: How to structure data flows that can navigate the intricacies of private credit portfolios without requiring armies of analysts. Whether firms are building internal capabilities or relying on third-party platforms.
2. Structuring the Future: Legal Perspectives on Evolving Reinsurance Transactions
Complex deal structures create day-to-day headaches if you don’t design the supporting systems correctly from day one. We’ve seen firms close brilliant transactions only to spend months building bespoke processes to manage them operationally.
Ideas we’ll be comparing notes on: How to balance legal sophistication with operational simplicity. Whether standard platform approaches can handle today’s deal complexity, or if custom architecture is becoming unavoidable.
3. Capital at Work: How Reinsurers are Powering Financial Security
Capital efficiency increasingly depends on operational efficiency. The firms that can deploy capital fastest, with the cleanest reporting and strongest control environments, win deals. But expanding capital deployment without ballooning operating costs is the challenge everyone’s grappling with.
At Resolution Re, this approach enabled them to grow from managing one book to seven in just three years while keeping team size relatively constant — because the systems do the heavy lifting.
Ideas we’ll be comparing notes on: How to build operational leverage into capital allocation processes. Whether current technology platforms can support the speed and scale modern reinsurers need.
Looking forward to Hamilton
These conversations matter because they’re happening at the intersection of strategy and execution — exactly where data and workflow design become competitive advantages.
The reinsurers building proper technology foundations today will set the pace in tomorrow’s market.
See you in Bermuda.
