Show Notes
Caroline Wagstaff runs London Matters, the report that tells the London market what it's actually worth, and this year the real story sits under the topline numbers. 24% of the London reinsurance market is under 30 today; in a decade, that's projected to fall to 7%, and nobody can agree whether AI or the pricing cycle is to blame. She joined us on the TRP yacht in Monte Carlo to unpack both, plus what 15 years of data says about London's comeback in reinsurance.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: Why London's reinsurance market share is climbing again after a decade of decline, and what's pulling new entrants back in The real driver behind an 18% drop in entry-level hiring across the London market (it's not really AI) What a 24%-to-7% shift in under-30 talent means for wage costs a decade out Why talking about pricing cycles in public may be quietly costing the market client trust What 15 years of London Matters data reveals about London's economic weight, and why government should care

Dame Susan Langley, the first Lady Mayor of the City of London in 800 years and only the third woman to hold the office, has spent a year flying round the world telling people what London’s insurance and reinsurance market actually does. Recorded at Mansion House, this is her case for why the quietest industry in finance needs to find its voice.
Sub-$50bn of first-half cat losses, no hurricanes last year, none so far this year, and rates heading south. Verisk's Rob Newbold boards the TRP yacht at Monte Carlo RVS to explain why reinsurance should still be braced for $171bn of insured catastrophe loss in an average year. Then he gets into what AI is actually doing to cat modelling, from globally correlated models to agents that talk to each other so humans can get on with deciding.
New capital is still queuing up for Lloyd's, but Argenta's Kate Tongue and Robert Flach reckon the smart money is taking its time. On board the Supercede yacht at Monte Carlo RVS, they explain three things: why investors tend to show up a year too late, why a diversified Lloyd's portfolio can rival ILS returns with less risk, and why capital cares less about a syndicate's AI than about who's parameterising it.
Property is softening at a sprint. Casualty is walking, and keeping one eye on US social inflation. On the TRP yacht at Monte Carlo RVS 2026, Lockton Re's Carla Moffett and Sam Sweeney explain why casualty reinsurance won't follow the rest of the market down, and why the brokers worth hiring now do much more than place the treaty.
Rachel Turk, Chief of Performance and Strategy at Lloyd's, explains why the flood of third-party capital is good news only while there's fresh risk for it to chase, and why institutional money might one day walk for reasons that have nothing to do with the insurance cycle. Plus: data centres that want $20bn of cover but not the bill, and why agentic AI underwriting only works if it explains itself in plain English.
