It’s been an exciting time at Brookmont. In April, we celebrated the one-year anniversary of our Catastrophic Bond ETF (NYSE: ILS). We have long believed that catastrophe bonds are a great investment tool and have aimed to increase access to this historically-hard-to-invest-in asset class. It appears that there are others who also like this idea.
We’re honored to be a finalist in three categories for the Insurance Insider Awards: Startup of the Year, Fund of the Year, and Initiative of the Year. This recognition is special to us, as we understand the incredible number of investment opportunities available to investors today. And while cat bonds are still a relatively new asset class to many, we believe that ILS’s consideration for these awards is a powerful vote of confidence from a renowned industry organization.
Looking at each category more closely, we’re thrilled to be included in each, as the Insurance Insider Awards evaluates submissions based on the following criteria:
As long time investors and asset managers, we understand that there’s significant investor appetite for assets that have the potential to generate high income while providing a diversifying risk profile, which is why we continue to believe in the opportunity cat bonds can provide.
We’re excited to watch the industry grow as the issuance of cat bonds continues to experience explosive growth. Last year was the biggest year for new issuance since the asset’s inception, and Q1 2026 was similarly the strongest quarter on record. We’re honored to play a small role in expanding this industry and this asset class and thrilled to be recognized by respected industry peers.
