Catastrophe bond spreads fell during H1 2018 to pre-hurricanes Swiss Re's H1 2018 ILS and Maria levels, according to Harvey, Irma market update. The reinsurer said that investment strategies could be influenced by the attractiveness of the catastrophe bond sector, but the events of H1 2018 showed catastrophe risk to be a key factor of investor-portfolio construction. As the reinsurance firm explains, the above shows a return to where the two markets were relative to each other prior 2017 catastrophe events. Swiss Re's H1 2018 ILS warned that if the attractiveness of the catastrophe bond market were to diminish, investors could invest capital elsewhere.
