The International Stock Exchange (TISE) has approved its first insurance-linked securities (ILS) specialist as a member firm.
Solidum Re (Guernsey) ICC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ILS manager Solidum Partners AG, has become a Category 1 and Category 2 sponsor, which enables the company to arrange and sponsor the listing of debt securities and investment vehicles, respectively, on TISE.
It is also the first time that the core of an incorporated cell company (ICC) has been admitted as a member of TISE.
Fiona Le Poidevin, CEO of The International Stock Exchange Group, said: “I am delighted to welcome Solidum Re as a member of TISE. We have already become home to some world-first listed ILS transactions but this is the first time that a specialist in the space has been approved as a member of TISE. This is a ground-breaking development which demonstrates our innovative approach and reinforces the fact that we not only have experience in listed ILS and ILS funds but that we are open to more of this type of business.”
