Frequently asked questions
What asset class does DePrince, Race & Zollo focus on?

The firm underwrites exposures to global natural catastrophes, with a focus on US hurricane, US earthquake, European windstorm, and Japanese earthquake risks. These exposures are sourced through catastrophe bonds and private reinsurance contracts.
