Specialist insurance-linked securities (ILS) investment manager Leadenhall Capital Partners LLP is monitoring investor appetite for different ILS products, while leveraging artificial intelligence to increase productivity and improve its risk analysis, CEO Luca Albertini told Artemis.
Launched in 2008, Leadenhall Capital Partners has built a proven track-record across the ILS market, with strategies focused on reinsurance opportunities, catastrophe bonds, life and alternative credit insurance linked investments.
During a recent interview with Artemis around the key conference season, Luca Albertini, CEO and one of the founders of the firm, discussed how he hopes to differentiate Leadenhall to attract clients through the rest of 2026 and into 2027.
“We hope investors will see in Leadenhall an established player (we launched in 2008) with access to a deep pool of experience underwriting skills, with a stable senior management team and the support of a large multinational financial services group (MSI), whilst maintaining independence in the investment decisions and a corporate structure (partnership) which strongly aligns the investment team with the interest of our investors,” Albertini told Artemis.
Expanding further on this, the CEO then detailed what opportunities he currently sees within the market that Leadenhall can use to grow its business further into 2027 and beyond.
“Leadenhall has seen a significant growth in its AUM in 2026, whilst remaining focused on its core offering,” Albertini said.
He continued: “The team has capacity to further grow its current offering, but we constantly monitor investor appetite for different products and we assess the opportunity in line with our view of the medium term potential for those opportunities and our own skills set needed to underwrite the underlying products.”
Addressing the firm’s technology roadmap, Albertini highlighted how Leadenhall is adopting a measured approach to artificial intelligence, balancing enterprise-wide adoption with strict oversight.
“Leadenhall has invested in AI, and is currently having business access to one leading platform . Each team and each function in the firm is challenged to think how to use AI to increase productivity and improve our ability to analyse risk,” the Leadenhall Capital Partners CEO said.
Concluding: “We are doing this however in a controlled way and lots of attention is also put on “hallucinations” and on the quality of the output, so the validation of what AI generates remains key.”
