Pillar Capital Management Limited

Pillar Capital Management Limited, formerly known as Juniperus Capital Limited, is a Bermuda-based hedge fund specializing in collateralized catastrophe reinsurance and insurance-linked securities. The firm was established in April 2008 and became operational in May 2008. It focuses on managing third-party capital invested in the global property catastrophe risk market.

The company's investment strategy involves identifying opportunities in traditional reinsurance instruments and financial market instruments whose performance is driven by underlying non-life insurance risk. This approach aims to create portfolios with attractive risk-reward characteristics and low correlation with other asset classes. The management team comprises experienced professionals with backgrounds in reinsurance and capital markets.

In January 2012, Aquiline Capital Partners, a New York-based private equity firm, acquired Juniperus Capital, marking a significant development in the firm's ownership structure. Subsequently, in April 2012, Marsh & McLennan Companies became a minority partner in the firm. These strategic partnerships have contributed to the firm's growth and expansion in the insurance asset management sector.

In May 2012, Chris McKeown, a reinsurance veteran, was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of Juniperus Capital, signaling a renewed focus on leadership and strategic direction. Under his guidance, the firm has continued to evolve and adapt to the dynamic landscape of insurance-linked securities and reinsurance markets.

The name 'Pillar' represents the solid foundation created by bringing together exceptional institutional backing, an experienced and disciplined management team, and a differentiated strategy. This rebranding reflects the firm's commitment to providing investors with unique and compelling opportunities in the insurance-related securities market.

Pillar Capital Management Limited remains dedicated to its mission of delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns to its investors through a disciplined and strategic approach to managing catastrophe reinsurance and insurance-linked securities investments.
