ILS, broadly speaking, connects insurance and reinsurance risk to alternative capital. Many parts of Willis Towers Watson touch on ILS capital participation:
- Willis Re Securities as a securities broker-dealer structures and places primary ILS transactions and trades ILS in the secondary market
- Willis Re and our Corporate Risk and Broking team, as part of their intermediary and advisor roles, integrate ILS-backed capacity into their customers’ reinsurance and insurance programs
- The Insurance Consulting and Technology business values ILS fund portfolios and provides consulting services to support ILS transactions
- Investments advises institutional investors in asset allocation to ILS and related asset classes
- Willis Towers Watson Management provides insurance management services to special purpose insurers which facilitate ILS transactions
All ILS-related activity takes place through entities and individuals appropriately licensed and qualified for the specific activity, but does so on a collaborative basis where appropriate.
