Parametric risk transfer is gaining broader acceptance as insurers look for new ways to cover natural catastrophe and weather-related exposures. Against that backdrop, AM Best is set to take part in The Insurer’s Parametric Insurer Conference 2026 in London on 12 November.

Highlights

  • AM Best's Jessica Botelho-Young will join the 'Innovations in data, triggers and structures' panel at The Insurer’s Parametric Insurer Conference 2026 in London.
  • Panelists will discuss expanding parametric structures for new perils and specialty risks, with a focus on natural catastrophe and weather-related coverage.
  • Growing adoption of parametric risk transfer is driving insurer and reinsurer focus on data, trigger design, and policy structure for complex risks.

Conference agenda and panel focus

As reported by AM Best, Jessica Botelho-Young, director, analytics, will join a panel titled “Innovations in data, triggers and structures” at The Insurer’s Parametric Insurer Conference 2026. The discussion is scheduled for 11:50 a.m. CET at the Willis Towers Watson Auditorium in London.

Panelists are set to examine how parametric structures are being used for new perils and specialty risks, alongside new approaches to protection against natural catastrophes and other weather-related perils. The conference carries the theme “Adapting to Change, Honoring Excellence.”

Market relevance for specialty insurance

Botelho-Young has been with AM Best since 2017 and oversees the analysis and financial ratings of insurers and reinsurers in the London Market and Bermuda, as well as in the Middle East and North Africa region. Her work places particular emphasis on multinational insurance groups.

The event comes as awareness and acceptance of parametric risk transfer continue to expand across the insurance sector. That trend is drawing attention to data, trigger design and policy structure as carriers and reinsurers refine coverage for complex and emerging risks.
