Investment Objective: GAM Star Fund plc - GAM Star Cat Bond Class M USD Accumulation |
The Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek to generate returns through selective investment in a global portfolio of catastrophe bonds (“CAT Bonds”). CAT Bonds are debt securities that transfer the risk of catastrophic events from insurance companies, reinsurance companies, corporations, governments, etc. to the capital markets. Investors receive a risk premium in the form of a yield in exchange for bearing the risk of losses from pre‑defined natural and non‑natural catastrophic events, such as earthquakes or windstorms, mortality and catastrophe related events. The principal of any given CAT Bond is potentially reduced (and subject to partial, or in some cases total, loss) upon the occurrence of an event to which the CAT Bond is contractually linked. |
