About this ETF
ILS is the first US-listed exchange-traded fund (ETF) to focus on catastrophe bonds. It offers investors exposure to a unique asset class, often uncorrelated with traditional markets, through an actively managed and globally diversified portfolio of these bonds. Catastrophe bonds, frequently called Cat bonds, are financial instruments designed to shift the monetary burden of natural disasters from insurance companies to capital market investors. This arrangement provides insurers with crucial additional protection, while offering investors the potential for attractive high-yield returns. The fund exclusively invests in high-yield rated Cat bonds, whose payouts are linked to specific natural disaster "trigger events." These bonds can be issued by a variety of entities, including domestic and international insurers, reinsurers, governments, and special purpose vehicles (SPVs). The fund operates with broad investment flexibility, placing no restrictions on the maturity of its securities, the specific types of natural catastrophes it covers, the geographic regions involved, or the economic or physical loss thresholds for its investments. Investment selection is based on a comprehensive assessment of both qualitative and quantitative factors, such as the nature of the peril, geographical exposure, payout triggers, the issuing entity, and the anticipated risk-adjusted return.
