Ep 24 Running towards risk: Stephen Postlewhite of QBE Re

I spoke to Managing Director of QBE Re Stephen Postlewhite about hardening rates at the mid-year renewals, capital crunches, squeezes in ILS and retro and the long-term insurability of pandemic risk.

I also asked him about what might change at QBE Re now that the former actuary and Aspen executive has taken the reins.

I found someone freshly reloaded with capital and risk appetite and full of expansion plans.

Watch this space – QBE Re is keen to engage with this global hard market.

It was refreshing – have a listen.
