Eikos is unique in many respects: Eikos’s ‘constitution’ as it were is as result of many years’ experience in the risk management and finance arena and a passion to structure a company that displays the right characteristics. There are important differences therefore, which, when compared to the traditional counter parts in the market, make Eikos distinctly different.
This not only refers to structure but also scope of expertise and activity that enables Eikos to present itself as the modern risk intermediary. The fundamental premise is different in that central to Eikos’s philosophy is a definition of risk that is precise and understood by the other financial markets and financial divisions of our corporate clients. Eikos is in the business of risk, not necessarily insurance; it uses a well-developed identification and evaluation process, whether the risk refers to Event Risks or Financial/Market Risks faced by clients.
Eikos’s scope of activity is therefore wider than its competitors’. It is geared uniquely to take advantage of the merging of financial markets and instruments, and the contemporary and growing focus of corporations on the discipline of risk management as a managerial/governance activity. This has prompted Eikos toward a mix of intellectual/consulting ability, which is wide yet at the same time well directed toward solving clients risk problems/facilitating opportunities around clients’ risks.
