Specialty reinsurance and capital advisory firm MultiStrat has announced the retirement of Jim Robinson, chief executive officer of MultiStrat Advisors.
Robinson, a co-founder, has been with the company since 2012, leading the capital advisory division and growing the team to six professionals. Over his tenure, MultiStrat raised capital to support more than $2 billion in assets under management for investors.
MultiStrat CEO Bob Forness acknowledged Robinson’s contributions to the firm, noting his impact as a co-founder and senior team member over the last 12 years. Forness will assume Robinson's responsibilities temporarily until a successor is appointed, ensuring continuity for the MultiStrat Advisory team.
Headquartered in the US, MultiStrat Advisors focuses on sourcing and managing institutional capital for reinsurance investments underwritten by MultiStrat.
This year, MultiStrat said that it has been pursuing an aggressive growth strategy, marked by several senior appointments in 2023 and 2024, as well as substantial investment in its data, insurance, pricing, and portfolio optimization capabilities.
Earlier this month, MultiStrat also announced a partnership with commercial re/insurance software provider AdvantageGo for the implementation of a comprehensive reinsurance and insurance-linked securities (ILS) solution.
The firm also said that it has plans to continue this growth by bringing in new talent to expand its reinsurance portfolio and advance various capital initiatives.
“Our outlook remains strong, and we remain focused on deploying capital toward profitable underwriting opportunities, attracting and building portfolios with investors, and delivering consistently compelling total returns across market cycles,” Forness said.
MultiStrat supports its clients with a range of capital resources. In 2020, re/insurance group Canopius acquired a majority stake in MultiStrat.
