Kelvin Re Limited and Humboldt Re Limited, the two rated reinsurance vehicles managed by and backed by capital from the Credit Suisse Insurance Linked Strategies Ltd. team, have both had their ratings affirmed by A.M. Best despite falling to losses due to recent catastrophe events.

Utilising a rated reinsurance model that’s backed by third-party investor capital, as seen with Credit Suisse Asset Management’s (CSAM) Humboldt Re and Kelvin Re, adds efficiency without losing the strategy and spirit of insurance-linked securities (ILS), says Niklaus Hilti.

The latest Guernsey domiciled reinsurance vehicle to be launched by ILS investment manager Credit Suisse Asset Management has now been rated. Humboldt Re Limited, launching with CHF 500 million of capital, received an A- rating from A.M. Best.
