Eaton Vance boosts insurance-linked securities and reinsurance sidecars to $680m
Allocations grew more than 126% in the six months to April 30, 2026, and added new exposure linked to Arch Capital, PartnerRe and QBE.
Eaton Vance, part of Morgan Stanley Investment Management, increased its insurance-linked securities and reinsurance sidecar investments inside three mutual fund strategies, bringing allocations to nearly $680 million by April 30, 2026.
According to Artemis, the increase represents more than 126% growth in the last half-year, with new allocations placed within the ILS and reinsurance portfolio during the six months leading up to that date.
The new activity included three additional reinsurance sidecars, investments tied to PartnerRe, QBE and Arch Capital, plus a new segregated-account private ILS opportunity linked to Arch Capital through Voussoir Re Ltd. The firm also allocated to an additional sidecar structure named Beacon RE, which Artemis says was not previously identified.
Artemis added that these allocations were made through the Eaton Vance Global Opportunities, Global Macro, and Global Macro Absolute Return Advantage fund strategies, and cited QBE’s first casualty reinsurance sidecar, George Town Re, as part of the new placements.
