Swiss pension Nest Sammelstiftung notes diversifying contribution of ILS to returns

Switzerland based pension fund Nest Sammelstiftung, or the Nest Collective Foundation, has highlighted the diversifying benefit of its insurance-linked securities (ILS) allocation, pointing to ILS market returns as a bright spot from 2023.

Nest Sammelstiftung considers itself an ecological-ethical pension investor, following sustainable investment strategies, one of which is the inclusion of natural disaster risk via some insurance-linked securities (ILS) fund strategies.

Nest allocates to two natural catastrophe focused ILS fund strategies, one a reinsurance focused fund from Swiss Re, the other a pure catastrophe bond offering from Twelve Capital.
