Swiss Re Integrates ILS Businesses, Showing Significant Investor Attraction: (1) Swiss Re announced the integration of its two insurance-linked securities (ILS) businesses into a single platform. This move aims to enhance product innovation and develop hybrid products that incorporate the characteristics of different ILS structures. The new platform will be managed by SRILIAC (established in 2022 and focused on catastrophe bond investments) and will incorporate the business of SRILIM (providing investors with access to Swiss Re's core natural catastrophe reinsurance portfolio). (2) The integrated ILS asset management business will be led by Mariagiovanna Guatteri, currently CEO and Chief Investment Officer of SRILIAC. Guatteri stated that consolidating all ILS asset management services into a single platform will provide significant advantages for institutional investors, allowing them to access Swiss Re's full range of ILS expertise and products in one place, while also focusing the team's efforts on product innovation. (3) Swiss Re currently manages approximately $5 billion in ILS assets and co-manages a UCITS fund with GAM Investments, with approximately $2 billion in assets under management. This integration is expected to further consolidate its position in the ILS market and attract more funds from institutional investors.
