The King Ridge ILS Value Proposition

INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS)

Cat Bonds

The King Ridge Capital Cat Bond strategy invests in catastrophe bonds, which are specialized income-generating securities that transfer the financial risk of natural catastrophes, like hurricanes and earthquakes, from risk bearing entities, such as insurance companies, to the capital markets. These bonds typically demonstrate minimal correlation with traditional markets. By tapping into this nuanced asset class, this strategy seeks to offer attractive yields while also enhancing overall portfolio diversification.

Bespoke Institutional ILS

Our bespoke Institutional ILS strategy offers sophisticated investors access to private (re)insurance transactions, typically related to natural catastrophes or other non-correlated events. By investing in instruments such as collateralized reinsurance contracts (indemnity or parametric), and industry loss warranties, this strategy seeks to generate attractive risk adjusted returns independent of broader market movements.

Sub-Advisory for Multi-Strategy Fund Managers

King Ridge Capital provides specialized advisory and sub-advisory services for multi-strategy fund and ETF managers, with a strong focus on ILS, such as CAT bonds and collateralized reinsurance contracts. This strategy seeks to provide diversification benefits and effective tools for reducing portfolio volatility through its ILS strategies as a sub-advisor. Whether employed as a standalone CAT Bond approach or as a complement within broader allocations, this strategy is designed to help fund managers and allocators optimize performance by leveraging attractive risk-adjusted returns and low correlation to traditional markets.

Multi-Asset ILS

Our multi-asset strategy invests across a diversified mix of instruments —such as CAT bonds, private property and casualty ILS, insurance bonds, etc. By combining exposures to various perils, regions, and contract types, this strategy seeks to deliver uncorrelated returns, improve portfolio diversification, and provide stable income. Utilizing advanced risk modeling and active management, it aims to optimize allocations while mitigating downside risk, making it a compelling addition to a broader investment strategy.
