SCOR Investment Partners Achieves Significant Asset Milestone
SCOR Investment Partners is thrilled to announce a remarkable milestone: the firm has successfully surpassed USD 5 billion in assets under management specifically allocated to its Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) strategy. This achievement highlights the growing importance and recognition of this investment platform within the global financial landscape.
Understanding Insurance-Linked Securities
The ILS market is rapidly evolving, with catastrophe bonds emerging as a prominent category. This dynamic growth reinforces SCOR Investment Partners' status as a key player in the ILS arena, directly appealing to institutional investors who seek robust investment options.
A Comprehensive Range of Investment Funds
To cater to the diverse needs of clients, SCOR has developed a suite of three open-ended funds:
Atropos
Launched in 2011, the Atropos fund stands tall with USD 3.4 billion in assets. It offers monthly liquidity while primarily focusing on catastrophe bonds and select private transactions. With a targeted annual return of SOFR + 600 to 800 basis points, it remains a cornerstone of SCOR's investment strategy.
Atropos Catbond
Also part of the offering is the Atropos Catbond, initiated in 2013, which has grown to USD 1.5 billion in assets. This fund is dedicated solely to catastrophe bonds and aims for an annual return of SOFR + 400 to 500 basis points.
Atropos Plus
Lastly, the Atropos Plus fund, newly launched in 2025, has USD 121 million in assets under management. With semi-annual liquidity, it emphasizes a greater emphasis on private transactions and aspires for a performance target of SOFR + 1000 to 1400 basis points.
Exceptional Leadership and Experience
Guided by Sidney Rostan, SCOR's ILS investment platform is bolstered by a dedicated team of 10 experienced professionals. Each member brings over 13 years of industry expertise, with operations based in both Paris and London. Recently, two seasoned portfolio managers joined the team, enhancing its proficiency in managing catastrophe bonds and ILS transactions.
Proven Strategy and Recognition
Since its inception in 2011, SCOR's investment strategy has primarily centered on natural catastrophes, optimizing exposure and ensuring a well-diversified portfolio. This meticulous selectivity has resulted in robust portfolios capable of generating reliable returns and absorbing shocks from extreme events. This disciplined investment approach has not gone unnoticed; the Atropos fund was awarded the 'Fund of the Year' at the recent Insurance Insider ILS Awards 2025.

Rostan remarked, "Reaching USD 5 billion in assets under management is a testament to our collective efforts and validated approach of creating transparent and resilient investment portfolios. Our commitment is to deliver high-quality offerings that can withstand extreme market conditions."
