Financial services provider Nascent Group has made a strategic investment in Sephira Risk Solutions, a European-based global risk and actuarial consulting firm.
According to Nascent, this investment establishes a partnership between the two firms to deliver actuarial services to clients seamlessly.
As part of the transaction, Andre Perez, who launched Nascent in 2023, will join Sephira’s Board of Directors, bringing strategic guidance on product and business development.
Founded and led by experienced actuarial consultant Andy Smyth, Sephira provides insurers, reinsurers, captives, ILS funds and intermediaries with specialist actuarial services.
Perez commented, “Actuarial advice is more critical than ever for insurers, particularly given the growing complexity and volatility of the global risk landscape.
“In the ILS market in particular, robust actuarial input is essential to provide valuation and loss reserve opinions. Andy is committed to state-of-the-art technology in the delivery of Sephira’s services, which is cohesive with Nascent’s vision.”
Smyth added, “With his background, broad knowledge of ILS and reinsurance, deep industry contacts and being known as an innovator, I am delighted to welcome Andre to the Sephira Board.
“Becoming an affiliate of Nascent will give Sephira the opportunity to access more resources and accelerate the development of our solution set, particularly in the ILS space. I look forward to continuing to provide Sephira’s current and future clients with insights-driven advice that is clear, actionable and risk-aligned.”
This announcement marks Nascent Group’s second major strategic transaction to broaden its service offering to the reinsurance, captive and ILS sectors, following its 2024 acquisition of Bermuda Compliance Consultants.
“Taken together, these moves underscore a deliberate build-out of a turnkey, end-to-end platform—integrating compliance and governance with actuarial advisory and insurance management—to help clients navigate an evolving insurance landscape,” the firm said.
