In each quarter of 2020, although most notably in Q1 and Q4, catastrophe bond and ILS issuance remained above average.

The recently published Q4 2020 catastrophe bond and ILS market report from our sister site, Artemis, examines the highest ever annual issuance of $16.4 billion, driven in part by $6 billion of new risk capital brought to the market in the final quarter.
