Tenax ILS UCITS Fund
The Tenax ILS UCITS Fund invests in securities exposed to insurance risk, being primarily natural catastrophes such as hurricanes and earthquakes.
The fund takes long positions into Catastrophe Bonds, which are 144a securities issued by special purpose vehicles and providing coverage to the sponsoring re-insurance company against specific events.
The floating structure of the cat bond coupons provide a solid hedge against inflation and interest rate rise, while the returns uncorrelated to global financial markets add to the investment case.
The fund is managed by Massimo Figna and Marco della Giacoma.

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.
