Ex-Pimco executive plans Europe's first catastrophe-bond ETF
October 29, 2025--King Ridge Capital Advisors is already managing the world's first-ever cat-bond ETF for Brookmont Capital Management.

An application to register the ETF was filed in Ireland, according to Rick Pagnani, co-founder and CEO of King Ridge Capital Advisors.
"This is an opportune time to pursue a European ETF," Pagnani, who until last year was running the insurance-linked securities desk at Pacific Investment Management, told Bloomberg on Monday.
King Ridge is already managing the world's first-ever cat-bond ETF for Brookmont Capital Management. The fund, which is listed in the U.S., has so far struggled to win over investors and failed to attract a lead market maker when it went public in April.
