A WALL STREET VIEW OF THE INSURANCE & REINSURANCE INDUSTRY

Being Held at the Offices of Mayer Brown LLP

After a capacity audience last January, Mr. Houston will be presenting KBW’s view on the Insurance/Reinsurance industry.  Always insightful and timely, this will be even more so in light of another year of significant M&A activity and severe natural catastrophes around the globe.  We look forward to hearing his analysis and views and the potential effects on, and prospects for, the publicly traded insurance and reinsurance market.

Peter Houston is a Vice President in the Insurance Investment Banking group of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods. Mr. Houston is responsible for advising insurance companies and insurance services companies on a range of corporate finance transactions, including mergers & acquisitions, public and private capital raising, affiliations, divestures, and bankruptcy/restructuring.

Mr. Houston has worked on many of the firm’s transactions involving mutual insurance companies and specialty property-casualty insurance companies. Mr. Houston joined KBW’s Insurance Investment Banking group upon graduating from Williams College.

This meeting is open to all and registration is $95 per person for an excellent buffet lunch and the opportunity to hear from a leading investment banker specializing in our industry.

The next meeting of the REINSURANCE NETWORKING GROUP has now been rescheduled to WEDNESDAY JUNE 20, 2018.   This session will be an update to Steve Schwartz’s June 2016 presentation now that the New York Court of Appeals has issued its decision in Global Reinsurance Corp. of America v. Century Indemnity Co.  Mr. Schwartz hardly needs any introduction as he is a very well-known attorney and highly experienced in insurance and reinsurance related matters and we are very fortunate to have him present on this perennial and, once again, timely topic.
