Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at LGT ILS Partners?
The firm is part of LGT Capital Partners, and its ILS team is led by underwriters and portfolio managers specialized in insurance-linked securities. Specific named principals are not publicly disclosed on the firm's website or in filings. The LGT Group board provides overall oversight of risk management and governance.
How does LGT ILS Partners source proprietary deal flow?
The firm accesses ILS deals through its relationships with global reinsurance brokers, cat bond arrangers, and direct insurance counterparties. Being part of the LGT network may provide additional access to private collateralized reinsurance transactions. The team uses both public cat bond auctions and bilateral negotiations with sponsors.
Is LGT ILS Partners structured as a single family office or does it operate more like an asset manager?
The firm operates as a specialized asset manager within LGT Group, which is privately owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein. It is not a family office; it manages external institutional capital alongside the family's own wealth. The ILS unit offers commingled funds and separate accounts to pension funds and endowments.
Does LGT ILS Partners participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm primarily deploys capital through commingled ILS funds and customized separate accounts. These vehicles invest directly in catastrophe bonds, industry loss warranties, and collateralized reinsurance contracts. It may also co-invest alongside other LGT Group entities in larger ILS positions.
What investment stages does LGT ILS Partners typically target?
The firm focuses on insurance risk across perils—not traditional equity or credit stages. It targets short-duration, floating-rate investments tied to natural catastrophe events. Mandates typically have multi-year maturities aligned with underlying reinsurance contracts.
Which sectors does LGT ILS Partners explicitly avoid?
The firm avoids equity-linked or credit-sensitive securities outside the insurance domain. It does not invest in life insurance or health-related risks, focusing exclusively on property catastrophe perils. Also excluded are sovereign debt or private equity exposures.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The underlying wealth originates from the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, whose fortune accumulated through landholdings, financial services, and historical sovereign rights. The family owns LGT Group, which manages its wealth along with third-party assets. The ILS unit's capital base includes both external institutional allocations and family capital.
