Fermat announces new range of commingled ILS strategies, two investor relations hires
Fermat Capital Management, the specialist manager of catastrophe bond and insurance-linked securities (ILS) investments, has launched a new range of commingled ILS strategies already supporting around $2 billion in assets, as well as two key hires to its global investor relations team.
Fermat Capital Management, which manages around $10 billion in assets, said that the new commingled ILS strategies it has launched are designed to address the needs of investors seeking a direct partnership with the investment manager.
These new ILS fund strategies will provide investors with access to Fermat’s ILS expertise across a range of risk profiles, liquidity options, and vehicle domiciles, including UCITS and offshore fund strategies.
Impressively, Fermat also said today that across these new strategies they already hold around US $2 billion in assets under management.
Dr. John Seo, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Fermat Capital Management, LLC, commented, “As the global ILS investor base matures and grows more sophisticated, our offerings must adapt and evolve accordingly.
“These strategies give Fermat and its clients the ability to form direct and deep partnerships at an exciting and pivotal time for the asset class.”
In addition, to support the investment manager’s continued expansion and the growth of these new ILS fund strategies, Fermat said it has made two important hires to its investor relations team.
Greg Hickling has been hired in Australia, to focus on strengthening relationships with investors and clients in the APAC region, while Christopher Hoenig has been hired in Germany, to focus on European clients and investors.
Hickling is a specialist in the fund management and capital introductions space, having worked at institutions and asset management or advisory firms in Australia over the years, with expertise working with investors on in insurance-linked securities (ILS) opportunities gained during his career.
Hoenig meanwhile, has similarly deep experience in the investor relations and fund management space, having worked with a wide-range of institutions, asset managers and end-investors across Europe.
Hickling and Hoenig join Fermat’s established global investor relations team, working alongside Tom Sundberg and Rhodri Lane.
Dr. Seo added on the new team additions at Fermat Capital Management, “As our clients’ needs evolve, so too must our commitment to delivering exceptional client service. We are therefore delighted to welcome Greg Hickling and Chris Hoenig to the Fermat investor relations team.
“Greg and Chris each bring over a decade of specialized client service experience in the ILS asset class; their expertise and regional focus will further strengthen Fermat’s ability to deliver exceptional local support and insights to investors.”
Dr. John Seo, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Fermat Capital Management, LLC, will be a speaker at our upcoming ILS NYC 2025 conference, which you can register for here.
