Launched in 1999, the platform is operated by Steve Evans Ltd. and positions itself as "the online heart of the Alternative Risk Transfer" market. With 25+ years of continuous coverage, Artemis has established itself as essential reading for ILS and reinsurance professionals worldwide, reaching 75,000+ monthly readers and 15,500+ email newsletter subscribers.

The platform serves the full ILS ecosystem -- from institutional investors and ILS fund managers to reinsurers, primary insurers, specialty brokers, and risk modelers. Artemis covers daily market news and analysis, maintains the industry's most comprehensive catastrophe bond deal directory (1,000+ transactions since the mid-1990s), publishes interactive market statistics dashboards, and organizes annual conferences in London and New York.

Artemis is financed through advertising revenue, remaining independently owned and operated. Its companion publication, reinsurancene.ws, extends daily coverage to the broader reinsurance and specialty insurance market.
