Catastrophe bond funds in the UCITS format added over $650 million in assets just in the month of April, as the combined assets under management (AUM) of the UCITS cat bond fund sector reached almost $20.5 billion, having now expanded by 6.5% so far in 2026.
Recall that, these UCITS catastrophe bond funds grew strongly through 2025, adding roughly $5.3 billion or 39% across the asset base of the UCITS structured cat bond fund strategies.
The expansion continued in the first-quarter, with UCITS cat bond fund assets growing to over $20 billion for the first time ever in February, but then declining slightly to around $19.8 billion by the end of March 2026.
