In the latest episode of The Long-Short, Tom Kehoe, CAIA and Drew Nicol venture into one of the most fascinating and fast-evolving areas of alternative investing, insurance-linked securities (ILS) and catastrophe bonds. These instruments allow investors to take on the financial risks of natural disasters in exchange for uncorrelated returns, helping insurers manage exposure while supporting recovery and resilience in affected communities. Joining us to unpack this unique investment strategy are: Timothy Yip, Portfolio Manager in ILS at ILS Advisers, offering insights from the manager’s seat Steve Smith, Investor and Chairman at Maybole Capital, a family office based in Scotland and Singapore, one of the earliest investors in the ILS space, who continues to specialise in catastrophe-risk investing. Together, they explore: 1. How catastrophe bonds work and why they matter 2. Who’s investing and why interest is rising 3. The impact of climate change and inflation on the market 4. What lies ahead as we enter a new hurricane season Listen now on AIMA.org, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnkd.in/d2syRtgA AIMA members can educate themselves further with our exclusive webinar on ILS, available here: https://lnkd.in/evp5mGWM #AIMApodcast #TheLongShort #CatBonds #ILS #AlternativeInvestments #InsuranceLinkedSecurities #HedgeFunds #ClimateFinance #Podcast

I had the great privilege of hosting a fireside chat with Japan’s new Finance Minister, Satsuki Katayama, at AIMA - The Alternative Investment Management Association’s Japan Forum last year. We spoke about the strong recovery in the Japanese stock market and the ambitious reforms required to make Japan a leading centre for asset management. I am sure she will waste no time in pushing ahead with her agenda to further strengthen the Japanese economy. Congratulations, Katayama-san, on becoming Japan’s first female Finance Minister.

The number of sustainability-related regulations, standards and initiatives has multiplied in the last decade. How do you keep track of it and know what’s relevant for you? AIMA’s ESG Handbook 2025 provides a summary of the key sustainability-related rules in the US, EU and UK for alternative investment managers. The Handbook also addresses the challenges associated with compliance and gives practitioner perspectives on the relevance of the rules and how to approach them. https://lnkd.in/eeKudUmT #alternativeinvestments
