We are seeing Interval Alts (registered investment funds
featuring hedge fund-like liquidity) being used for dedicated
insurance-linked securities (ILS) strategies. ILS, such as
catastrophe, or "cat," bonds, provide sponsoring
insurance and reinsurance companies with contingent funds to hedge
the risk of specified insurable events, e.g., hurricanes, wildfires
and earthquakes. With the recent natural catastrophes this summer
and fall, insurer demand for loss protection is expected to rise,
which could improve pricing for providers of risk protection, such
as reinsurers or ILS investors. Interval Alt funds employing ILS
strategies tend to be non-correlated with other financial products
and offer their investors additional liquidity and execution
benefits, as illustrated below.
