According to Hiscox Group’s interim statement this morning, the firm’s insurance-linked securities (ILS) fund management unit, Hiscox ILS, has delivered record fund performance so far in 2023, while maintaining stable assets under management (AUM) in the third-quarter.

Hiscox Group disclosed this morning that its Hiscox ILS insurance-linked securities (ILS) fund management unit experienced some further outflows in the last quarter, ending the half-year with total ILS assets of $1.7 billion.

Insurance-linked securities (ILS) capital providers need to see “proof-points” of the market delivering on its promises and ultimately returns, before any meaningful inflows return to the collateralised reinsurance side of the ILS market, Hiscox Group CEO Aki Hussain explained today.

In reporting its results this morning, Hiscox Group disclosed that its Hiscox ILS business experienced $148.4 million in net outflows of capital during the first-quarter of 2023, which the company said was “consistent with our expectations of a general trend in the sector.”

Hiscox Group reported this morning that its insurance-linked securities (ILS) assets under management of the Hiscox ILS unit are stable at $1.9 billion as of the end of 2022, despite some outflows experienced in the second-half of the year.

Hiscox Group reported its results this morning, saying that net flows to its insurance-linked securities (ILS) funds were broadly stable for the third-quarter, but noting that after hurricane Ian investment sentiment has been impacted to a degree.

The relative performance of Hiscox’s insurance-linked securities (ILS) funds drove investor interest in deploying more capital to them, leading to the significant fundraising success reported recently, Hiscox Group CEO Aki Hussain explained.

Hiscox ILS, the insurance-linked securities (ILS) and collateralised reinsurance underwriting and investment management unit of the Hiscox Group, had significant fund-raising success through the second-quarter of the year, lifting its ILS assets under management to $1.9 billion.

Hiscox ILS, the insurance-linked securities (ILS) and collateralised reinsurance underwriting and investment management unit of the Hiscox Group, raised investor funds to deploy into specific opportunities around the mid-year reinsurance renewals.
