ILS education

ILS education for professionals

ILS101 is built for people who need a structured route into insurance-linked securities, catastrophe bonds, reinsurance risk transfer, triggers, pricing, and specialist catastrophe risk topics.

The market is specialist, but the concepts can be taught clearly

Insurance-linked securities require fluency in insurance, reinsurance, capital markets, catastrophe models, contract wording, and risk transfer. ILS101 gives learners a structured way through that material.

Market language

Learn the terms used across cat bonds, collateralised reinsurance, ILWs, sidecars, expected loss, and attachment probability.

Practical mechanics

Understand how risk moves from cedants to capital markets and how different ILS structures respond to catastrophe events.

Professional context

See how insurers, reinsurers, brokers, funds, regulators, and public-sector bodies approach ILS.

Designed for different professional backgrounds

The course supports learners entering ILS from actuarial, underwriting, broking, asset management, risk modelling, disaster risk finance, and regulation.
