What Hudson Structured Capital Management does

Hudson Structured Capital Management (HSCM) is a privately held, specialized alternative investment manager founded in 2009 and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut with a Bermuda office. The firm deploys capital across two tightly defined sectors—insurance and transportation—through six investment strategies: Asset Intensive Life Insurance, Insurance Private Credit, Multi-Sector Insurance (including catastrophe bonds and reinsurance), HSCM Ventures (insurtech), Shipping Private Credit, and Multi-Sector Transportation. As of March 2026, HSCM manages $4.0B in assets and has invested over $5.5B in cumulative capital since inception, supported by 48 dedicated professionals with 500+ combined years of senior investment team experience from leading institutions spanning both investment management and industry operator roles.

HSCM's underlying platform is built on direct origination capabilities, sector-specific underwriting expertise, and the structuring of investments into multiple risk tranches across the capital stack (alternative credit, opportunistic credit, asset-backed finance, structured equity). The firm operates through specialized investment vehicles, separately managed accounts, and customized mandates designed specifically for insurance company balance sheets, with an emphasis on regulatory-compliant, investment-grade-quality assets and asset-liability matching.

The business model is that of a traditional alternative asset manager: HSCM generates revenue through management fees on AUM and performance fees/carried interest on investment returns. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven, targeting three primary customer segments—institutional investors (pension funds, endowments, family offices), insurance companies seeking customized balance-sheet solutions, and transportation operators (maritime, aviation, rail, logistics) requiring senior secured financing. The firm was co-founded by Michael Millette and David Andrews, who serve as Managing Partners alongside a broader partnership that includes Vikas Singhal, Gokul Sudarsana, Jason Braunstein, Jeff Sangster, R. Sean Durkin, and Sybren Hoekstra.
