LEADERSHIP TEAM Chris Schaper, Chief Executive Officer Adam Szakmary, Portfolio Manager and Chief Underwriting Officer SunSiang Liew, Head of Portfolio Analytics Kevin Ronaldson, Chief Financial Officer David Brown, Chief Compliance Officer Christian Husby, Head of Business Development Chiara Soria, Legal Counsel Brant Loucks, Chief Operating Officer INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY The existence of market inefficiency: The inefficiency makes it possible for disproportionate investment in skill and effort to pay off for our clients in the long term. The value of broad market access: Access to a broad universe of investments (through an established (re) insurer) is the first step to construct an attractive portfolio in the large, but fragmented catastrophe risk market. An emphasis on rigorous risk quantification: It is our strongest belief, supported by abundant experiences and data, that applying rigorous risk quantification built on the latest science and intimate industry knowledge can create an edge in risk selection and portfolio construction Focus and specialization: Specialization results in focused management attention and investment in resources and skills to build a best-in-class manager specialized in catastrophe risk. Moderate use of hedging: For a fully collateralized catastrophe portfolio, we believe that hedging should only be used in moderation. We encourage our clients to size their reinsurance positions such that large losses are well managed within the context of their overall investment portfolio. STRENGTHS OF THE PLATFORM Broad Investment Universe AlphaCat focuses on a broad reinsurance universe including traditional reinstateable reinsurance in addition to collateralized reinsurance and catastrophe bonds Underwriters maintain an extensive contact network with the major brokers and global reinsurance purchasers Extensive Investments in Analytics Validus Research employs over thirty dedicated scientists, catastrophe modelers and software developers to deliver the Validus View of Risk All reinsurance submissions are reviewed and fully quantified to build a comprehensive view of the global reinsurance opportunity set Robust Infrastructure AlphaCat Managers is an SEC-registered investment adviser2 2 Advisers Act registration does not and should not be read to imply a certain level of skill or training.
