Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at TigerRisk Partners?
CEO Jay Gelb, appointed in 2024, leads the firm overall. Capital allocation and placement decisions are made by senior brokers and the analytics team, not a central investment committee.
Does TigerRisk participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
TigerRisk does not commit its own capital to reinsurance structures; it operates purely as a placement agent and advisor, connecting ceding insurers with capacity from reinsurers and alternative capital sources.
What investment stages does TigerRisk typically target?
As a broker, TigerRisk does not target investment stages. Its clients range from deeply collateralized sidecars and ILS funds to traditional multi-year treaty placements across property, casualty, and specialty lines.
How is TigerRisk related to TigerRisk Capital Markets & Advisory?
TigerRisk Capital Markets & Advisory is an affiliated entity focused on investment banking services for the insurance sector, including structuring catastrophe bonds, sidecars, and other ILS vehicles. It operates as a separate but complementary unit within the broader TigerRisk platform.
