Robo-Advisors and Insurance-Linked Securities
Nadia Schmidt, Divisional Director, Willis Re
Robo-advisors and Insurance-Linked Securities – two young business models in two different industries that have seen steep growth during the last decade. Robo-advisors have been successful by automating investment advice, making wealth management more efficient and accessible to a broader client base, while ILS sources new insurance capacity by allowing the financial market to invest in insurance risks largely uncorrelated to other financial instruments.
