Natural Catastrophe Risk

Elementum’s investment business is focused on natural catastrophe risk and reinsurance-linked assets across the global property/catastrophe insurance value chain.  The firm provides institutional access to this Alternatives universe through portfolios comprised of catastrophe bonds, collateralized reinsurance investments, and other natural catastrophe-linked instruments. This market segment offers a return profile that has typically been uncorrelated to traditional market volatility, with performance driven by natural events rather than traditional macroeconomic factors.

Elementum takes an active, research-driven approach to portfolio management.  Investment decisions are informed by a combination of catastrophe modeling output, in-depth research, and experienced market intelligence.  Both long-term trends and shorter-term market dynamics may be considered during the security selection process, resulting in thoughtfully constructed portfolios.

A Specialized Asset Class

Insurance-linked securities—or ILS—provides institutional capital to insurers and reinsurers, offering risk-bearing capacity that supports recovery following major catastrophe events.  This connection to real-world outcomes is a defining characteristic of the asset class and shapes how risk is evaluated, priced, and managed.
