Overview
As the low rate environment persists, those who are reviewing their alternative investment strategy might do well to consider making reinsurance part of their allocation. Investors should look closely at the new reinsurance model in particular, which is expected to be a growth engine in the reinsurance industry as it provides investors with attractive returns through a tax efficient structure.
FOX members have asked for information on innovative investment opportunities. In response, and because the reinsurance trend is significant, FOX is pleased to invite a select group of family office members to participate in this unique private call for the opportunity to learn about reinsurance and closely examine a reinsurance product in the context of education. This opportunity is made possible through our relationship with CAIS, a FOX Thought Leader Council member.
Stephen A. Schwarzman, chairman, CEO and co-founder of Blackstone started the investment conversation by commenting on important trends and opportunities impacting family offices and the need for the alignment of interests between asset managers and investors.
Ben Rubin, executive vice president, AXIS Reinsurance, and Brett Newman, managing director in Blackstone’s Corporate Development Group, provided the following:
- Introductory overview of reinsurance risk and reinsurance companies
- Explanation of reinsurance as a new operating model for generating returns
- Description of the potential market opportunity for publicly traded reinsurance companies
- Exploration of the benefits of investing in alternative strategies through a reinsurance company
- Presentation of Harrington Re, which AXIS Capital Holdings and Blackstone have partnered to sponsor and launch
FOX investment network members are invited to continue the discussion privately within their network communities via their online discussion groups.
