What’s new: In this Risk Capital Insight episode of On Aon, Ciarán Healy, global captives leader for Aon, is joined by Joe Peiser, Aon’s CEO of Risk Capital, to explore how rapidly shifting risk profiles and capital dynamics are reshaping the way organizations protect their balance sheets.

Ciarán and Joe examine the forces driving unprecedented volatility — including weather, cyber, litigation and geopolitical risk — and discuss why traditional approaches to risk financing are no longer sufficient. The conversation highlights how insurance, alternative capital and captives are becoming more strategic levers, enabling leaders to strengthen resilience, align risk appetite with analytics and deploy capital with greater confidence and flexibility in a changing global landscape.

Key Takeaways:  

1. Insurance capacity is becoming more segmented, with alternative forms of capital such as insurance-linked securities, parametrics and structured insurance playing a growing role.
2. Organizations are increasingly using captives as strategic platforms to access multiple sources of capital, aggregate risk across the enterprise and make more analytics-driven decisions.
3. Effective risk financing now depends on blending insurance, reinsurance and alternative capital in a more deliberate way to better match risk to the balance sheet.
