Insurance-Linked Funds (ILS Funds)

Valuation and risk reporting in Insurance Linked Strategies (ILS) have become areas of heightened scrutiny from investors.

Catastrophic events, such as hurricanes and floods in 2017 and 2018, continue to increase the need for robust valuation and risk reporting processes for ILS funds.

Our ILS Working Group brings together asset managers and allocators to discuss these issues and produce practical guidance on the topic.

The Insurance Open Protocol Risk Reporting Template (available through the SBAI Toolbox) allows for standardised risk reporting to investors.
