- Cat Bonds allow investors to access (re)insurance risks, offering diversification and low correlation with traditional asset classes along with historically attractive spreads. Twelve Securis manages Cat Bond portfolios in UCITS format and also provides custom mandates tailored to the specific risk profiles and return objectives of institutional clients. Our dedicated team uses proprietary data and risk models to evaluate and manage these portfolios, aiming to optimise risk-adjusted returns.
- Private Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) strategy provides access to tailored, private (re)insurance transactions that are unavailable in public markets. These cover diverse (re)insurance risks, often offering higher yields than Cat Bonds due to their bespoke structures and associated illiquidity premiums. Twelve Securis leverages deep industry relationships and geographical reach to source, structure, and negotiate unique transactions, ensuring investors benefit from a wide range of risk exposures across global geographies and catastrophe types.
- Insurance Bonds are a traditional Fixed Income offering focused exclusively on debt issued by insurance companies. Our actively managed Insurance Bond strategy capitalises on liquid, investment-grade opportunities across global markets with a focus on Europe.
- Insurance Private Debt strategy addresses the growing solvency capital needs of smaller insurers, primarily in Europe. In a sub-sector characterised by very high barriers to entry, Twelve Securis unparalleled sector focus and balance sheet approach allows for successfully source transactions and assess risks.
Disclaimer:
The Artemis Insurance-Linked Securities Investment Managers & Funds Directory is provided as-is. Best efforts are made to ensure the contents are accurate at the time of publication but there may be some omissions. Please contact Artemis should you require a change to your ILS manager listing.
*Note: Assets under management are prone to fluctuation so the figures here are either the best available or last submitted by included managers.
It is not always possible for us to track the ‘usable’ assets under management (AUM) of most ILS managers, so the figures above tend to include an element of trapped capital. Few ILS managers report AUM figures that exclude trapped capital, unless they have fronting or other arrangements in front of their ILS funds that allow them to do so more readily.
