According to Artemis, Swiss Re recently underscored at the 68th annual reinsurance meeting in Monte Carlo that modeled insured losses in a 2026 peak loss scenario could reach around USD 320 billion, with natural catastrophe losses rising at about 5 to 7 percent annually, a risk factor that remains central to the investment case.
