A.M. BestTV:. Insurance-Linked Securities Funds Building New Alliances With Reinsurers, Says Best's Managing Director
In this A.M.BestTV episode, Emmanuel Modu, managing director
and global head of insurance-linked securities (ILS), A.M. Best,
said some ILS funds have engaged with or even started reinsurers in
order to simplify operations or reduce fronting costs. Click on http://www.ambest.com/v.asp?v=modu218

"What A.M. Best has noticed is that ILS funds are now seeking actually
more alliances with reinsurers," said Modu. "In fact, they are seeking
alliances through fronting arrangements, and in some cases, actually
starting their own insurance carrier or helping to facilitate the start
of carriers."
Modu said there are several motivations for an ILS fund to pursue
becoming a rated reinsurer, such as becoming more efficient and perhaps
eliminate fronting arrangements, which can actually cost them 6% to 10%
of premiums. They also want to eliminate some of the trust structures
they have to create for these transactions.
