Clearly the ILS space is growing, and growing rapidly. When analysing the various instruments, it is important to remember that posting collateral is very often part of the overall programme. One of the available options has clear advantages over the others. And one bank has options not offered by others. The Wells Fargo ILS trust, combined with the Wells Fargo cash deposit account, seems to be the ideal collateral solution in the ILS space.
