Agam offers investment management platform
A new strategic partnership between Agam Capital and 1823 Partners is set to offer global insurers an integrated balance sheet and investment solution, with links to Bermuda’s reinsurance market and regulatory framework.
The companies said the arrangement combines asset-liability management analytics, insurance structuring and access to long-term capital through reinsurance.
Agam operates a licensed Class E insurer through Agam Incorporated Segregated Accounts Company Bermuda under the oversight of the Bermuda Monetary Authority. The platform provides operational and governance services to Bermudian-based reinsurers.
A key element of the collaboration is the ability to provide insurers outside the United States with access to “permanent capital” via reinsurance structures.
The partnership also centres on an artificial intelligence-driven ALM platform that integrates actuarial modelling, asset allocation and risk management. The firms said the system will help insurers manage complex market conditions, including interest rate volatility and longevity risk.
Anant Bhalla, cofounder and chief executive of 1823 Partners, said the insurance value chain had become fragmented over time, creating demand for more integrated solutions.
He said: “Our unique end-to-end solution provides insurance companies with strong distribution access to the full stack of capabilities required to compete — product design, world-class ALM, access to long-dated capital and resilient, private asset sourcing, structuring and ongoing surveillance.”
Agam co-founders Chak Raghunathan and Avi Katz added that traditional ALM models were not designed for today’s market complexity, with the new platform built to dynamically price and manage risk across the enterprise.
“We have now designed and built a proprietary, AI-driven ALM platform from first principles to handle the complex realities of dynamic, turbulent global capital markets,” they said.
