He highlights the importance of a multi-channel communication strategy, which has become a crucial differentiator in a competitive market.Key takeaways from Ben's insights include:Lead Costs and Engagement: With lead costs on the rise, it's more important than ever to fine-tune every stage of customer interaction. Ben emphasizes the value of omni-channel communication, where customers can engage with brands via their preferred method—be it phone, text, or chat.Speed to Lead: Ben stresses that the speed at which a business responds to a lead is critical. Ideally, businesses should aim to engage with leads within the first 15 minutes to maximize conversion rates.Quality Over Quantity: As the FCC's upcoming regulation changes loom, Ben advises businesses to focus on quality interactions rather than merely churning through leads.

This is the fifth and final session from our Artemis ILS NYC 2022 conference, held in New York City on April 22nd, 2022. This was the largest insurance-linked securities conference in the world since our last in Feb 2020, prior to the pandemic (now eclipsed by our London event in September though, in terms of attendance). Over 200 attendees assembled in New York to hear industry expert speakers under the theme of "(Re)setting the scene", discussing the future of the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market as the COVID-19 pandemic abates and the industry adjusts to another year of catastrophe losses. This was the fifth session of the conference and featured a question and answer session with the four moderators from earlier panel discussions held that day. The four session leaders discussed a wide range of issues affecting the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market, from the need to deliver to its investor base, to opportunities to grow the pie. This session was moderated by: Steve Evans, Owner and Editor-in-Chief, Artemis.bm Participants were: Stephan Ruoff, Head of ILS, Schroders Capital; Tom Johansmeyer, Head of PCS, Verisk Insurance Solutions; Judith Klugman, Head ILS Sales, Swiss Re; and Ben Fox, Principal, Portfolio Manager, Hiscox ILS.

When an enterprise divests a business unit, much work is needed to ensure that vendor IT contracts will appropriately support the divestiture.  This can be a difficult process because vendors don't normally let their customers just copy and paste a contract into a brand new “carbon copy” for the divested company. Listen to this 10-minute podcast as Ben Fox, one of TC2's Managing Directors, and Marc Lindsey, a Senior Partner at LB3 and President of Avenue4, discuss with Joe Schmidt the two main approaches companies often use when divesting a business unit and how you can put these approaches to use.
