Insurance and reinsurance broking giant Aon continues to blur lines, as today’s announcement of the launch of an intellectual property financing solutions strategy under registered investment adviser Aon Advantage Funds LLC, and a $300 million commitment to it secured from M&G Investments shows.

Insurance and reinsurance broker Aon has been working with insurtech Vesttoo on intellectual property insurance-related financing solutions, with the latter helping to bring capital markets capacity to the brokers proposition.

Following the completion of several transactions featuring a collateralized financing solution for intellectual property assets, this emerging asset class could be a massive opportunity for ILS funds and their investors, according to Lewis Lee, CEO of Aon’s Intellectual Property Solutions.

Aon has announced the completion of another collateralized intellectual property transaction to help brain-assessment device innovator BrainScope secure a financing solution for its intellectual property assets.

Hudson Structured Capital Management Ltd., the insurance-linked securities (ILS), reinsurance and transportation focused investment manager, was the largest capacity provider to back a first transaction from a new financing solution for intellectual property assets created by broking group Aon.
