The insurance-linked securities (ILS) market and its fund managers are adapting their strategies following several years of heavy catastrophe losses, with their experiences in dealing with trapped ILS collateral driving them to evolve the way ILS fund side pockets are set and dealt with, Brian Desmond of Horseshoe told Artemis.

By utilising the same insurance-linked securities (ILS) servicing specialist to provide re/insurance management and fund administration, benefits can be realised across capital raising, coordination, and cost, according to Horseshoe’s Brian Desmond.

With valuation of insurance-linked securities (ILS) and collateralised reinsurance investments already a process that requires significant expertise, the threats posed by the Covid-19 pandemic add more complexity to setting fair valuations, Horseshoe’s JB Crozet told us.

Valuation has become an increasingly important element of assessing an investment in the insurance-linked securities (ILS) asset class, and while it’s vital to consider loss and modelling data, market intelligence plays an important role, explains JB Crozet, SVP Advisory Services & Head of London Office at Horseshoe.

Bermuda-headquartered ILS management, servicing, transformation and fronting specialist Horseshoe Group has joined the Bermuda Stock Exchange (BSX) as a listing sponsor, through its Horseshoe Corporate Services Ltd. unit.
