The City National Rochdale Select Strategies Fund, a US mutual insurance-linked securities (ILS) fund focused on investments into industry-loss warranties (ILW’s) and industry-index trigger catastrophe bonds, saw slight growth through the latest quarter of record, ending April 2024 with approximately $227.4 million of net assets.

The City National Rochdale Select Strategies Fund, a US mutual insurance-linked securities (ILS) fund focused on investments into industry-loss warranties (ILW’s) and industry-index trigger catastrophe bonds, delivered its strongest annual performance in the last year, with an almost 15.6% return to its investors.

The City National Rochdale Select Strategies Fund, a US mutual insurance-linked securities (ILS) fund focused on investments into industry-loss warranties (ILW’s) and industry-index trigger catastrophe bonds, has continued to grow, to reach almost $218 million as of October 31st 2023.

The ability to customise industry-loss warranties (ILW’s) is seen as a key trait in the reinsurance-linked asset that assists in the portfolio construction process, but demand for ILW protection has fallen slightly among reinsurers, according to the CEO of the City National Rochdale Select Strategies Fund.

Asset manager Amundi US continued to grow its more recently launched Pioneer Cat Bond Fund strategy in the last quarter of record, with catastrophe bonds seemingly remaining the easiest strategy to raise money for, as its more reinsurance focused Pioneer ILS Interval Fund shrank a little further, albeit at a much slower rate than before.

Reflecting investor sentiment and where capital is flowing to in the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market, asset manager Amundi US has been growing its new Pioneer Cat Bond Fund strategy, but the manager’s Pioneer ILS Interval Fund has continued to shrink.

Adopting a defensive position, with respect to the 2022 hurricane season, has paid off for an industry loss warranty (ILW) focused investment strategy, according to the CEO of the City National Rochdale Select Strategies Fund.

The impacts and losses to insurance-linked securities (ILS) strategies from hurricane Ian this year were a “setback” for performance, but also another chance to reflect and double-down on portfolio management processes, according to Amundi US’ Chin Liu.

The value of insurance-linked securities (ILS) held in the dedicated mutual ILS investment fund operated by Amundi US Investment Management, the Pioneer ILS Interval Fund, almost caught up with their cost in the last quarter of record.

Industry loss warranty (ILW) pricing surged through the first-half of 2022, thanks to rising demand for ILW protection amid a constrained market for reinsurance and retrocession capacity, according to the CEO of the City National Rochdale Select Strategies Fund.
