Alternative reinsurance and investment platform Vesttoo has appointed Robert Hauff as the Portfolio Manager for its Insurance Linked Program (ILP).
Hauff brings over two decades’ experience to the role and formerly served as the Managing Director of Fixed Income Research at Wells Fargo Securities.
“We are thrilled to add Robert – one of the foremost insurance analysts in the sector – and his deep understanding of fixed income and capital markets,” said Yaniv Bertele, CEO and Founder of Vesttoo.
“As a highly accomplished leader within the financial services industry, and an expert in leading growth initiatives, Robert will help Vesttoo bridge the reinsurance funding gap with our ILP program.”
Hauff will now help establish the investment strategy for the ILP, enabling asset managers and pension schemes to earn long-term, sustainable alpha by pledging existing assets, rather than directly allocating cash to support short and mid-term Life and P&C alternative risk transfer transactions.
He will also oversee day-to-day operations of the program, lead research for insurance-linked opportunities, and serve as one of Vesttoo’s primary liaisons to insurers and investors.
“Vesttoo is the perfect opportunity for me – combining advanced technology with sound alternative investments. This is the future of the industry,” said Hauff.
“They have been extremely successful at bringing together insurers and investors and expanding the alternative reinsurance market. I’m excited to join their global team and help deliver results for our clients and industry partners.”
