The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), the residual market or last-resort property insurer for Texas, is planning to reset its Alamo Re catastrophe bonds to fit within its 2016 program, as it plans an increase in its reinsurance retention.

GC Securities said it designed the Alamo Re catastrophe bond shelf program, for sponsor the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), to allow the three tranches of notes, including the two from the recent $700m Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2015-1), to “interact seamlessly.”

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association’s (TWIA) $400m Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2014-1) catastrophe bond has had its rating upgraded by Fitch, after the insurer elected to use the variable reset feature to lower the attachment probability on the notes.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) is delighted with the response to its latest catastrophe bond from ILS investors and capital markets, helping it to secure an additional $700m of reinsurance capacity from Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2015-1).

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association’s (TWIA) latest catastrophe bond issuance is set to become its biggest by a long way, as the Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2015-1) issuance has grown in size to $700m, while the pricing has been set near the upper end of guidance.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) is set to lower the attachment probability of its $400m Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2014-1) catastrophe bond at the annual reset, in order to slot the cover it provides between the two tranches of its new Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2015-1) offering.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) is returning to the catastrophe bond market, as expected, with its largest transaction to date, a proposed $450m two tranche Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2015-1) offering.
