Cincinnati Financial Corporation’s aggregated catastrophe and severe weather losses over the first-half of 2019 have been sufficiently severe to reach 74% of the way towards the trigger attachment point of its $180 million Skyline Re Ltd. (Series 2017-1) catastrophe bond.

The aggregate buffering layer and retention sitting beneath the convective storm coverage of Cincinnati Financial Corporation’s $180 million Skyline Re Ltd. (Series 2017-1) catastrophe bond had been 32% eroded due to qualifying catastrophe losses by the end of the third-quarter of this year.

The privately placed $180 million Skyline Re Ltd. (Series 2017-1) catastrophe bond is once again experiencing a rising risk profile, as severe convective storm losses from the first-quarter of 2018 have eroded some of the aggregate buffering layers and retention sitting beneath the cat bond.

Erosion of the deductible layer sitting beneath the $180 million Skyline Re Ltd. (Series 2017-1) catastrophe bond has slowed in the second-quarter of 2017, with the $106 million of qualifying losses reported after the first-quarter only rising to $119 million by the middle of the year.

After primary insurer The Cincinnati Insurance Companies (Cincinnati) reported Q1 2017 catastrophe losses of around $106 million (pre-tax), which will have eroded some of the buffering layers and retention beneath its $180 million Skyline Re Ltd. (Series 2017-1) catastrophe bond, broker pricing sheets are now reflecting an increased risk of loss for the bond.

Catastrophe losses suffered by primary insurer The Cincinnati Insurance Companies (Cincinnati) during the first-quarter of 2017 have now reached approximately $106 million (pretax), according to the insurer, which will have eroded some of the buffering layers and retention beneath its $180 million Skyline Re Ltd. (Series 2017-1) private cat bond.
