Portfolio Management and Analytics
Nephila is committed to the pursuit of superior portfolio management with a richly experienced team with over one hundred years of collective industry knowledge. Each member of the portfolio management and analytics team comes from various complementary backgrounds which include finance, seismic and financial engineering, risk management and underwriting. Our underwriting expertise allows for the specialized care and attention of a broad range of insurance related services, helping our clients to achieve their business objectives such as: portfolio management, sourcing deals from brokers, monitoring portfolio risk, investor relations and educating prospective investors about Nephila’s capabilities in managing catastrophe and weather risk.
At Nephila the portfolio management and analytics groups are closely integrated. Most of the individuals in the portfolio management team also perform modeling and individual deal analysis, as well as research, in addition to their portfolio manager roles. The team has a broad knowledge of the re/insurance modeling practices and includes individuals who have had first hand work experience at two of the leading model vendors, AIR & RMS, working with and developing the catastrophe models. Much of Nephila’s infrastructure has been built with a portfolio “work bench” in mind, using Nephila’s proprietary systems in order to quickly analyze and price contracts that are on offer. This also gives the portfolio managers easy access to portfolio analytics, including exposure data and event set drill down functions, loss scenario analyses as well as to perform allocations, manage cash and leverage, all within the same framework. The portfolio managers are responsible for overseeing all aspects of the assigned portfolios on a day-to-day basis which includes risk monitoring and insuring portfolios are up-to-date with regards to allocations, modeling and cash balances. They are also involved in the strategic decisions relating to the funds and investor communication.
The level of sophistication that we incorporate into our portfolio management practices is what differentiates us from our competitors. The diverse experience of our team, as well as key relationships formed in the financial, scientific and academic communities, has helped us develop a premier analytics framework from which to base decisions.
