ISPartners Alternative Risk Advisors Licenses RMS®
Catastrophe Modeling Software
Newark, Calif. – March 30, 2006 – Risk
Management Solutions (RMS), the world’s leading provider of products and
services for the management of catastrophe risk, announced today that
ISPartners Alternative Risk Advisors has licensed the RiskLink®
catastrophe modeling software for use in evaluating and managing
ISPartners’ portfolio of insurance-linked securities. This agreement is
the latest development in RMS' servicing of the investment community,
further highlighting the rapidly growing importance of
catastrophe-modeling in the assessment of alternative investments such
as Insurance Linked Securities (ILS).
“Licensing RMS catastrophe models and collaborating with RMS experts is
an important component of quantifying and managing the risk represented
by our investment-portfolio", said Stefan Mueller, managing partner of
ISPartners Alternative Risk Advisors. "We look forward to working with
RMS experts as our fund continues to grow and we constantly evaluate new
investment opportunities.”
Tibor Winkler, director of risk markets at RMS added, “Servicing the
alternative risk markets continues to be an exciting and rapidly growing
area for RMS and we are delighted to be working with ISPartners
Alternative Risk Advisors. Sustainable development of a portfolio of
alternative, insurance-linked natural and man-made catastrophe risk
finance solutions requires that underwriting and portfolio management
are carried out on the basis of quantitative risk assessment. Therefore,
licensing catastrophe models to investment funds like ISPartners
Alternative Risk Advisors is viewed as increasingly important and a
natural extension of RMS business.”
