SCOR Investment Partners announces it has surpassed USD 5 billion in assets under management on its investment platform dedicated to Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS), with catastrophe bonds being the most well-known category, confirming its position as a leading global player in this asset class.
The steady growth of assets under management on the platform, supported by the rapid development of the ILS market, reflects the strength of management performance and the trust of our exclusively institutional clients.
The investment platform offers a range of three complementary open-ended funds:
– Atropos, the flagship fund launched in 2011, totals USD 3.4 billion in assets under management1. This fund, with monthly liquidity, is invested in catastrophe bonds and private transactions and targets an annual return of SOFR + 600 to 800 basis points.
– Atropos Catbond, launched in 2013, totals USD 1.5 billion in assets under management1. This fund, with weekly liquidity, is exclusively invested in catastrophe bonds and targets an annual return of SOFR + 400 to 500 basis points.
– Atropos Plus, launched at the beginning of 2025 with semi-annual liquidity, completes the range with a stronger allocation to private transactions and a performance target of SOFR + 1000 to 1400 basis points. It totals USD 121 million in assets under management1.
Under the leadership of Sidney Rostan, the investment platform comprises a dedicated team of 10 professionals with an average of over 13 years of experience in the market. The team operates out of Paris and London and was recently strengthened by the arrival of two experienced portfolio managers who enhance the team’s expertise in both catastrophe bonds and private ILS transactions. The team possesses unique technical expertise thanks to complementary skills including geoscience, risk modeling, reinsurance underwriting, catastrophe bond trading, and ILS transaction structuring. As a recognized player in the asset class, the team also benefits from privileged access to the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance markets.
Since 2011, the investment strategy has focused on natural catastrophes with an optimized diversification of exposures. It stands out for its strict selectivity, enabling the construction of homogeneous and robust portfolios that combine recurring returns with a proven ability to absorb shocks in the event of severe natural disasters.
This rigorous and disciplined approach was recognized with the ‘Fund of the Year’ award at the Insurance Insider ILS Awards 2025 for the Atropos fund, confirming SCOR Investment Partners’ position as a major player in the ILS universe.
Sidney Rostan, Head of Insurance-Linked Securities at SCOR Investment Partners, commented: “Reaching USD 5 billion in assets under management for our ILS investment platform is above all a collective achievement. This milestone validates our approach of building high-performing, transparent and resilient portfolios capable of withstanding extreme events.”
Louis Bourrousse, CEO of SCOR Investment Partners, added: “This result reflects the commitment and expertise of our investment teams, as well as the close relationships we maintain with our clients. I am convinced that our model, which combines independent management with the backing of the SCOR Group, will enable us to continue supporting our partners sustainably in their diversification and performance goals.”
