Vice Chair of Howden Re and Exec Chair of Howden Capital Markets & Advisory Rob Bredahl, spoke with Meg Green for the Insurance Insider during the 2024 PwC Insurance Summit in Bermuda. Rob and Meg discussed #HurricaneMilton, #HurricaneHelene, the impact of ‘black swan’ events and the outlook for market capital in 2025. "One wildcard is the type of events we saw- kind of black swan events…" said Rob. "I think that although losses aren’t extreme, and although total losses for the year are near modelled expected losses, the fact that they were again black swan type events will cause pause amongst some investors."
