Swiss Re has launched an insurance-linked investor advisory business with a specific focus on catastrophe bonds.
The investor advisory company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Swiss Re Insurance-Linked Investment Advisory Corporation (SRILIAC) a SEC registered investment adviser.
The company offers investment management services to qualified institutional investors, with a particular focus on catastrophe bonds.
SRILIAC’s investment strategy focuses on insurance-linked securities, primarily catastrophe bonds. Swiss Re said this allows investors the opportunity to access Swiss Re’s capabilities in catastrophe bond investments, natural catastrophe modelling and underwriting.
In addition, the company added SRILIAC’s investment strategy complements Swiss Re’s other investment strategy focused on natural catastrophe reinsurance contracts managed by Swiss Re Insurance-Linked Investment Management Ltd. (SRILIM).
MariaGiovanna Guatteri, CEO of SRILIAC, said, “Swiss Re has been trading and investing in ILS for over two decades. Now we are opening our capabilities to institutional investors, allowing them to benefit from our track record and established risk analytics, portfolio management and operational expertise.
“We believe that our focus on catastrophe bonds will closely align with investors who value liquidity and transparency.”
Earlier this year, ICEYE, an expert in natural catastrophe (NatCat) solutions, received an investment from Tokio Marine Holdings to develop insurance products.
