Facilitating the Transfer
of Insurance Risk
Whether you are a sponsoring company looking to complement traditional reinsurance for certain layers of risk or an ILS Manager seeking non-correlating risk, Robus offers truly independent solutions.
Traditionally ILS have focused on natural catastrophe but, as models develop and investors are willing to evaluate more types of risk, cover for other risks is now possible; from off-shore energy to mortgage indemnity, more and more types of risk are becoming feasible. The market for life insurance securitisation is developing further also and Robus have the skills and knowledge to offer bespoke solutions.
Basic Structure of
Collateralised Reinsurance
The most common way to transform risk is achieved by establishing a Special Purpose Insurer which invests the proceeds from premium and collateral in low risk securities. The earnings on the securities and premium represent the return to investors if the insured event does not occur.
