Insurance-Linked Securities

Canopius ILS Limited, based in Bermuda, offers investors aligned access to Canopius’ (re)insurance portfolios underwritten on our global platforms. We provide a range of portfolio and bespoke products for investors to participate in.

Our expertise in alternative risk transfer and specialty lines (re)insurance allows us to structure and issue these transactions primarily through our Bermudian-based Special Purpose Insurer (SPI), Excelsa Re.

Since launching in 2018, Canopius ILS has delivered a long track of above-market risk-adjusted returns by aligning investor interest with those of the underwriter. Our ILS funds are designed to help investors diversify their portfolios with non-correlating investments against equity and bond market movements.

The Canopius Group has extensive experience managing capital for third parties, particularly through backing for our Lloyd’s syndicates. In addition to various deal structures across a wide range of business classes, Canopius ceded more than $140m of net premium to third party investors via the Excelsa Re ILS platform in 2023.
