IGF Core

An Overview of IGF's Role in IAC™ Ecosystem

Operations | Technology | Intra Marketplace Reinsurance

IGF was formed in 1985 as one of Bermuda's first financial guaranty insurers, perhaps one of the first in the world and its first "collateralised insurer", as IGF Principals invented the concept.

In 1998, IGF formed a trio of assurance, insurance and financial guaranty insurers, the original IAC Cube™ model. IGF subsequently acquired one of Bermuda's oldest regulated insurance managers. Thereafter, it took a 50% interest in a Bermuda services | staffing | facilities company in partnership with Investors Guaranty™ Group, a private capital group which provided "structural risk mitigation" and funding for a wide range of investments and entities.

Together, the above entities ("IGF Core") have provided support services to each IAC™ Insurer, including premises, technology services, operations, intra-market reinsurance, Treasury functions and digital assets integration.

The interaction between IGF Core, IGF Act Companies operating under IAC ISO, IAC™ Market Participants, Underwriting Members DAO and IAC™ Society are designed to structurally limit exposure to jurisdictional risk outside of Bermuda and British Overseas Territories.

IGF is to continue to undertake its reinsurance of interest rate setting capacity of IGA Type Insurers within IAC Cube™, so as to maintain the "debt" characterisation of FlexGIA™ and its role as a US recognised "depository" institution and lead Type 2 Participating Foreign Financial Institution and reporting entity for all IGA Type Insurers under US FATCA.
IGF's insurance subsidiaries are to provide intra-market reinsurance to IAC™ Insurers, as well as specialised operational services, including various Treasury functions.

IGF Core as  a 
DeRisk Digital Infrastructure Utility Technology Services Organisation 

IGF, its original IAC Cube™ trio of IGF Act insurance subsidiaries and its two service units support IAC Cube™ IAC™ Insurer operations, technologies and reinsurance as IAC™ Marketplace's core technology | services provider.

IAC ISO is in formation and transition to become "parent" of IGF core operations/technology unit, with IGF retaining its current shareholder base.

The IGF System™

A Structural Risk Management Protocol

Under IAC™ Marketplace Protocol, IAC ISO has been designed to create a collaborative and integrated framework for facilitating risk transfer, mitigation, retention, transformation and participation among present and future Bermuda based Digital Infrastructure Utility components and key Bermuda-based IAC™ Marketplace Participants, as well as international IAC™ Marketplace Participants aligned through role-specific Decentralised Autonomous Organisation ("DAO") networks.

Assumed risk and capital to support such risks may only combine within IAC™ Insurers located exclusively in Bermuda through transactions conducted solely in Bermuda under IAC™ Rules and Regulations of The IGF System™ compliant in all respects with Investors Guaranty Fund, Ltd. (Policyholder Reserves) Act, 1991 (the "IGF Act").


Each IAC™ Insurer must always be capable of timely paying a 100% loss on all Policies issued, being fully supported by eligible government obligations held by government approved custodians, certified as to sufficiency by international certification agents.


A key element of the framework is "structural risk mitigation" which begins with the design of IAC™ Marketplace and its core components, each a "digital infrastructure utility" or "DIU".

IAC ISO takes the form of a "protected portfolio" organisation empowered to segregate its assets into statutorily protected units, similar to the original IGF Act "Reserves" technology granted Royal Assent in 1991.

Its common equity holders are philanthropic |charitable|educational non-profit foundations (each a specialised form of regulated trust structure whose trustee is a regulated trust company), which have been in operation for more than two decades and which are significant shareholders of Investors Guaranty Fund Ltd. ("IGF").

Once authorised by shareholders and legal confirmation, IAC ISO is to become IGF's parent.
