Rochdale ILW & cat bond fund returns 11.77% with only modest catastrophe impacts

The City National Rochdale Select Strategies Fund, a mutual insurance-linked securities (ILS) strategy focused on industry loss warranties (ILWs) and catastrophe bonds, delivered a net return of 11.77% for the year ended January 31, 2025.

While down from the 15.58% return recorded the previous year, 2024’s performance still marked a second consecutive year of strong, above-average gains for the interval-style fund.

Run by City National Rochdale, the fund combines structural customisation with tactical risk management across ILWs and cat bonds. As of the end of January 2025, total net assets reached $228.2 million, up from mid-2024 levels, reflecting continued investor interest in ILS as a source of uncorrelated returns amid broader market volatility.
