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.

The Cobblers win over Rochdale was, in the main, a comfortable affair. Apart from one chance at 1-0, Dale never threatened us and much like the midweek win over AFC Wimbledon, Jon Brady's men cruised to victory. Ben Fox and Josh Eppiah were both named in the squad and while Sam Hoskins scored his fourth brace of the season, it was Marc Leonard's performance which lit up the faces of our support. We discuss all this, read out some cracking listener letters from Neil's Postbag and check in with James Wiles for a report on how NTFC Women are getting on in the National League. Plus we have some amazing news to share with you all. _________________________ Support the show If you'd like to support the podcast, we'd really appreciate it.

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.
