Swiss Re, the global reinsurer, has named long-standing senior employee Mirjam Wiget as the new leader for its Alternative Capital Partners (ACP) division, as incumbent Martin Zingg moves into the Group Chief Investment Officer role.

Swiss Re has appointed long-standing senior employee Martin Zingg as the new head of its Alternative Capital Partners (ACP) division, as incumbent to the role Chris Minter is set to retire from the global reinsurance company.

Global reinsurance giant Swiss Re is bringing together its insurance-linked securities (ILS) investment management operations under the Swiss Re Insurance-Linked Investment Advisors Corporation (SRILIAC) brand and the combined ILS management unit will be led by long-standing executive Mariagiovanna Guatteri.

There has been a notable increase in the target investment allocation range for reinsurer SCOR’s sidecar vehicle Concordia Re, in the insurance-linked securities (ILS) portfolio managed by PGGM, the Dutch pension fund investment manager, on behalf of its end-client Dutch pension PFZW.

We’ve reported before that the giant insurance-linked securities (ILS) portfolio managed by PGGM, the Dutch pension fund investment manager, on behalf of its end-client Dutch pension PFZW, had delivered a 15.1% net of costs return for calendar year 2024, on a Euro hedged basis.

The target allocation range has been reduced for an investment into a Munich Re reinsurance sidecar that features in the insurance-linked securities (ILS) portfolio managed by PGGM, the Dutch pension fund investment manager, on behalf of its end-client Dutch pension PFZW.

The insurance-linked securities (ILS) and reinsurance investments portfolio of Dutch pension PFZW, which is managed by pension investment firm PGGM, delivered a 15.1% return for full-year 2024, while in asset terms the allocation was a little down year-on-year but flat through the fourth-quarter.

The market should expect Swiss Re to continue building out its capabilities across insurance-linked securities (ILS) and alternative reinsurance capital, as the company is benefiting from their growth, while investors in Alternative Capital Partners (ACP) structures have been enjoying “very strong performance”, CFO John Dacey said today.

Global reinsurance company Swiss Re said today that its third-party capital markets focused Alternative Capital Partners (ACP) division is supporting its long-term growth trajectory in natural catastrophe risks.

Year-to-date, only modest amounts of catastrophe losses would be shared with the investors backing reinsurance firm Swiss Re’s Alternative Capital Partners (ACP) division, as the third-party capital unit is more geared to larger tail-risk events, the firm’s Group CFO John Dacey explained today.
