Towers Watson

As the risk management marketplace has expanded — and tools and techniques for managing risk have evolved beyond the limits of traditional insurance and reinsurance markets — capital markets have come to play an important and ever increasing role in risk management.

In response to a growing client need to understand and take full advantage of innovations in risk management, Towers Watson Capital Markets (TWCM) — consisting of Towers Watson Capital Markets Inc. in the US and Towers Watson Capital Markets Ltd. in the UK — was launched in 2008 to offer new services in three broad categories: risk securitization, financial risk transfer transactions, and asset risk management. 

TWCM builds on core Towers Watson capabilities and offerings to provide a full range of capital market services — from risk identification to analysis of possible risk mitigation strategies as well as execution of your company’s chosen approach.

Your organization can rely on TWCM for analysis and advisory services relating to:

• Risk-linked securities, such as catastrophe bonds and longevity swaps, and working with banks and insurers to facilitate execution of primary and secondary market transactions in these securities
• Selected retirement-related investment and pension risk transfers
• Selected corporate hedging programs and hard-to-value assets

In addition, TWCM has the capability to assist your company in the structuring and execution of these transactions.
