With the drive towards portfolio diversification and inevitable move up the risk curve, institutional asset owners are increasingly considering the role of insurance linked securities in their investment plans. At the same time ILS fund providers seek to improve their understanding of new and emerging risks that can form part of the new evolution in investable insurance risk.

The 7th annual Insurance Linked Securities for Institutional Investors report by pension plan managers, trustees, asset and investment managers, fund of funds and their consultants examine the growing trend towards allocating to insurance linked security funds. The report will also assess emerging asset classes and investment vehicles such as longevity swaps and private ILS funds.
