Leadenhall Capital Partners

The Denver-based health insurance company plans to push individual and small group health insurance plans.

Phil Kane has been appointed senior credit officer, reporting to CEO Luca Albertini.

Panellists at Trading Risk’s conference in New York said they were adopting a wait-and-see approach to Lloyd’s Blueprint One proposals intended to make it easier for ILS managers to participate in the market.

The London-based fund becomes the SBAI’s fifth specialist ILS member.

CEO Luca Albertini said the proposals it had submitted were not a straightforward example of “syndicate in a box” or “follow-form” syndicates.

It holds $241mn in catastrophe reinsurance after lifting its allocation in 2018.

The fund has also hired a deputy risk manager to join its London office.

The bank will provide depositary services for Leadenhall’s UCITS ILS Fund.

Winners were recognised at the 11th Trading Risk Awards ceremony, held in London last night.

Swiss funds active in ILS recorded stable or slightly increased allocations after 2017’s losses.

It is “probably one of the best times to invest” in ILS, according to Leadenhall Capital Partners CEO Luca Albertini.

The Leadenhall Capital Partners CEO tells Trading Risk’s London ILS conference how he hopes changes in Lloyd’s will create further opportunities.
