Insurance linked securities (ILS) solutions are complex and evolving structures, and require a team that understand the intricacies of putting structures together to facilitate them.

Ocorian’s ILS team work with insurance managers and intermediaries to provide a complete ILS solution. 

We support the securitisation of insurance by facilitating the creation of ILS structures such as sidecars, special purpose insurance (SPI) and transformers, issuing catastrophe bonds and other risk-linked securities. 

Our experienced teams can act as a listing agent to list the securities on the Bermuda and Cayman Stock Exchanges, and provide the ongoing administration and management of the insurance entity. We also facilitate the unwinding and liquidation on end-of-life transactions.
