Brookmont Catastrophic Bond ETF

Brookmont Capital Management, LLC, is set to move the listing venue for its Brookmont Catastrophic Bond ETF (ILS) strategy to the Texas Stock Exchange as it hopes to onboard the first lead market maker to the fund within weeks.

As the insurance-linked securities (ILS) and catastrophe bond markets continue to embrace artificial intelligence (AI), the technology has the potential to help expand the market into new sectors like data centre risks, according to Ethan Powell, Principal and CIO of Brookmont Capital Management.

While the broader catastrophe bond market often adopts a wait-and-see posture until the Atlantic hurricane season passes, the current 2026 landscape suggests that the most compelling value may be found during this window of peak uncertainty, according to Ethan Powell, Principal & Chief Investment Officer of Brookmont Capital Management, LLC.

The Brookmont Catastrophic Bond ETF is gaining momentum with a surge in trading volumes over the last two months and its assets under management (AUM) surpassing the US $25 million mark.

The team behind the Brookmont Catastrophic Bond ETF (ILS) says its strategy is built on deep diversification and a long-term aim to outperform the broader catastrophe bond market on a risk-adjusted basis.

Brookmont Capital Management, LLC is reportedly looking at options to bring its US listed catastrophe bond ETF to Europe, which would expand the universe of investors able to allocate to the firm’s cat bond strategy.

The Brookmont Catastrophic Bond ETF (ILS), saw 150,750 shares traded in its first day listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), resulting in $3.03 million of trading volume in dollar terms, which is well above the median for all exchange traded funds.

The Brookmont Catastrophic Bond ETF will list on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) tomorrow April 1st under the ticker symbol ILS, making the catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) investment opportunity more accessible to a broader range of investors.

The awaited launch of the Brookmont Catastrophic Bond ETF is nearing and Artemis spoke with Ethan Powell, Principal & Chief Investment Officer of Brookmont Capital Management, LLC and Rick Pagnani, co-founder of King Ridge Capital Advisors LLC, to learn more about the strategy and their thoughts on how they see it developing.

A definitive prospectus has now been filed with the SEC for the Brookmont Catastrophic Bond ETF, a new exchange traded fund strategy that will be predominantly focused on the catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) asset class.
