Schroder GAIA Cat Bond Fund

Schroders Capital, the private assets division of the global asset manager with a specialist insurance-linked securities (ILS) investment management business, has become the second manager in the catastrophe bond market to take its UCITS cat bond fund strategy over US $4 billion in assets under management (AUM).

Schroders, the global asset manager with a specialist insurance-linked securities (ILS) investment management business, has updated the investment strategy and policy of its flagship UCITS catastrophe bond fund, the Schroder GAIA Cat Bond, to incorporate specific ESG and sustainability features.

Reflecting the success experienced with its UCITS catastrophe bond fund strategy, investment management group Schroders has closed the GAIA UCITS cat bond fund to new investor subscriptions, as it seeks to protect the strategy’s performance for existing investors.

Investment management group Schroders continues to see strong inflows into its UCITS catastrophe bond fund strategy, which has forced the firm to actively manage the capacity of the fund and may result in its closure to new investors.

Investment management group Schroders has seen significant growth in the assets under management of its catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) fund strategies, as well as a broadening of its investor base in recent months.

Investment management group Schroders has announced the launch of its second insurance-linked securities (ILS) fund this morning.  The new fund launched on its UCITS hedge fund platform, the Schroder GAIA Cat Bond fund, will invest predominantly in catastrophe bonds.
