Horseshoe adopts Artex brand name

Horseshoe has transitioned to the Artex brand name, three years after it was bought out by the Arthur J. Gallagher subsidiary in 2019.

Operating within the customer segment Artex Capital Solutions, the company aims to find better, more efficient ways to connect capital to re/insurance risks.

Founder and chairman Andre Perez stood down from the company in March of this year, having handed his responsibilities as chief executive over to veteran executive Kathleen Faries in 2020.

Perez founded Horseshoe in 2005 and acquired IKONIC Fund Services in 2016, growing the business to become one of the world’s largest insurance linked securities service provider, specialising in insurance management, risk transformation, fund administration, advisory and corporate services.

The company stressed that despite the name change its mission remains the same, as does its commitment to its clients.
