Integral ILS hires Walsh from Artex as Financial Controller

Integral ILS Ltd., an independent alternative investment manager focused on natural catastrophe insurance and reinsurance investments, has appointed Kenny Walsh in Bermuda, who joins the organisation as a Financial Controller.

Walsh was most recently working at Artex Risk Solutions, a Bermuda-based firm that specialises in risk management and alternative risk solutions, where he served as Vice President, Fund Accounting for over two years.

In that role and given Artex’s position as a key service provider and facilitator to the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market, Walsh will have worked with numerous ILS fund managers as an outsourced fund accounting and administration specialist.

Now, in joining Integral ILS, Walsh is moving into the ILS management side of the market.

Walsh joins an experienced team that has around $2.8 billion in ILS and catastrophe reinsurance linked assets under management.

Before he joined Artex, Walsh spent just under nine years working at MUFG Investor Services, a division of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG).

During his time at MUFG, Walsh served in a number of different roles, including tenures as Senior Associate Director and Associate Director within Client Operations, where he focused on hedge fund and reinsurance accounting, NAV calculation, team management and project management.

Earlier experiences in his career includes serving as a Senior Corporate Actions/P&L Analyst at Citco Fund Services, and as a Customer Service Representative at TD.
