Insurance Linked Investments

Schroders Capital, the private assets division of the global asset manager with a specialist insurance-linked securities (ILS) investment management business, has become the second manager in the catastrophe bond market to take its UCITS cat bond fund strategy over US $4 billion in assets under management (AUM).

During a capital markets session with analysts this afternoon Beazley’s CEO Adrian Cox revealed that the firm’s plans to broaden into cyber insurance-linked securities (ILS) through its new Bermuda branch is actually a joint-venture with an established ILS market player with a platform on the island.

The UCITS exchange traded catastrophe bond fund (ETF) that is being launched by specialist investment manager King Ridge Capital Advisors LLC is set to be listed on three major exchanges under the ticker symbol CATB, Artemis has learned.

Beazley’s Chief Executive Officer Adrian Cox explained this morning that the new Bermuda platform it is launching will have a cyber insurance-linked securities focus, including a plan to launch a cyber ILS fund strategy.

Beazley, the London headquartered specialty insurance and reinsurance company, has made a significant commitment to the Bermuda marketplace with the deployment of $500 million of capital to establish a new platform on the island to drive growth and expansion into the alternative risk transfer market, including ILS opportunities.

Following its entry into the insurance-linked securities (ILS) space through its partnership with Cedar Trace Group, Sage Advisory Services is looking to expand its range of investment solutions. The company aims to offer investors new sources of return with low correlation to traditional capital markets and business cycles.

2025 has seen continued growth within the alternative capital markets, supported by steady expansion across property catastrophe and casualty lines, along with increased capital flowing into catastrophe bonds and collateralized reinsurance transactions, greatly reflecting investor confidence, according to Artex Risk Solutions.

Global asset manager Schroders has teamed up with Thai company Krungthai Asset Management to launch catastrophe bond fund strategies specifically for the Thai ultra-high net worth investor marketplace.
