Investment Principles
The NB ILS team seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns that are demonstrably uncorrelated with traditional asset classes.
Focus on Low Correlation to Traditional Asset Classes
Invest in insurance-linked securities, such as industry loss warranties, that are based on occurrence of large scale, low probability natural events and are independent of financial markets.
Actively Manage the Portfolio
We employ a risk-centric, rather than a return-target approach, and actively manage risk by sourcing new opportunities, monitoring key short-term risk parameters and taking advantage of short-term dislocations.
