After a lull in investing in insurance-linked securities in 2009, the market showed a sharp uptick in investment interest in 2010.
In its third annual report, Aon Benfield Securities, a subsidiary of Chicago-based insurance broker Aon Corp., said over a 12-month period ending June 30 of this year, insurance-linked securities achieved a 170 percent increase, rising from $1.7 billion and 11 transactions during the 12-month period in 2009 to $4.6 billion and 20 transactions this year.
In its "ILS Review 2010--Market Momentum" report, Aon Benfield said the investments were exceeded only by the years 2007, with $7 billion, and 2008, with $5.8 billion in insurance-linked securities issued.
