Sage and Cedar Trace launch ILS-enhanced credit strategy

Sage Advisory Services and Cedar Trace Group, a Bermuda-based insurance, reinsurance, and asset management group, have announced that they will collaborate to offer innovative investment products featuring insurance-linked securities (ILS) and credit opportunities.

The companies said that the jointly advised portfolios will benefit from Sage’s expertise in fixed income and credit strategies and Cedar Trace’s capabilities in ILS, catastrophe bonds, and re/insurance risk transfer.

This collaboration aims to deliver lower-correlated, yield-enhancing total return strategies for institutional investors, family offices, and asset allocators seeking elevated, diversified, and portfolio-diversifying return opportunities.

“We are excited to partner with Cedar Trace to bring groundbreaking ILS enhanced credit opportunities to our clients,” said Robert G. Smith, president of Sage Advisory Services. “Sage’s nearly three decades of fixed income expertise, paired with Cedar Trace’s unparalleled ILS capabilities, will create a powerful solution for investors seeking stability and enhanced returns.”

Lawrence Minicone, chief executive of Cedar Trace, added, “We are thrilled to partner with Sage. Sage is an industry thought leader with an exceptional track record of expertise, integrity, and success. By combining our ILS capabilities with Sage’s credit and fixed income proficiency, we are aiming to deliver enhancing and diversifying risk-adjusted returns to investors.”
