Amy Bautista Named One of ABF Journal’s 2026 Top Women

SEATTLE, WA, UNITED STATES, October 13, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Kosmos Management, LLC, a registered investment advisor with a patented, proprietary Paired Policy™ investment strategy, has announced that Amy Bautista, its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, has been named one of ABF Journal’s 2026 Top Women. This recognition highlights Bautista’s significant contributions to the specialty finance industry and her commitment to championing the next generation of leaders.

Bautista’s journey in finance began in Boston, where she started her career as a financial advisor. She then transitioned into a buy-side analyst role, covering large-cap portfolio sectors, and co-managed a mid-cap fund. In 2008, she joined her family’s financial services firm in Seattle, where she played a crucial role in developing the firm’s patented Paired Policy strategy. This strategy was instrumental in the firm’s transformation and eventual co-founding of Kosmos Management in 2012.

Under Bautista’s leadership, Kosmos Management has expanded significantly. The firm has become a programmatic issuer, having conducted the first asset-backed security (ABS) transaction in the life settlement industry in 2019. Today, Kosmos Management manages 12 funds and oversees more than $2 billion in assets under management. The Paired Policy strategy has been a cornerstone of the firm’s success, enabling it to create innovative financial instruments through a deep understanding of the market and a commitment to transparency and reliability.

Bautista’s work at Kosmos Management extends beyond the firm’s financial operations. She is actively involved in advocating for women in finance, promoting sponsorship that goes beyond traditional mentoring. Bautista believes in creating an environment where women can thrive and make pivotal decisions that shape their careers.

Kosmos Management, founded by Chris Kosmos, Amy Bautista, David Kraft, and Andy Quartner, is committed to innovation and fostering a healthy, transparent, and robust life settlement market.
