The Manager’s Value Proposition

The Manager directly accesses the reinsurance market in order to create optimized risk profiles to match investor risk appetite.

  • Participation in traditional reinsurance transactions on a collateralized basis is a unique alternative to CAT bond funds and other insurance risk investment vehicles
  • No exposure to associated risks of investing in a publicly traded reinsurance company (equity market, asset management)
  • Liquidity provisions are more attractive to private equity investors in traditional reinsurers who struggle with exit strategies
  • Operating without a rating allows the Manager to optimize the portfolio more efficiently. The Manager does not have to conform to rating agency models who force rated companies to sub-optimize portfolios to counter balance operating leverage –e.g. take risk that have sub optimal returns for the sake of diversification.
  • Risk acquired and managed by professional staff focused solely on optimizing returns for investors, without competing objectives from rating agencies or corporate mandates
  • Juniperus Capital incorporates all the core functions and analytics of a state of the art reinsurance company

The Manager creates its portfolio based on:

  • Experienced Underwriting1
    • The Management Team has over 30 years of underwriting experience in the traditional (re)insurance markets as well as 30 years of capital markets expertise allowing it to evaluate insurance risk on a directly underwritten basis and on a capital market basis
  • Enhanced Market Access
    • Juniperus Capital leverages its industry relationships with intermediaries and counterparties for deal flow and access to opportunities
    • The Manager seeks to source business across a broad spectrum of brokers and intermediaries
    • An “in-house” reinsurer that facilitates risk accumulation in traditional reinsurance form
  • Rigorous Portfolio Construction
    • The Manager utilizes sophisticated models and portfolio management systems to evaluate both individual transactions
    • Juniperus Capital actively manages its risk profile on an aggregate basis, capturing correlations across portfolio and seeking to optimize risk-taking capacity
