This segregated account LI Re 2018-1 private cat bond, which transforms and securitises underlying reinsurance risks contained in the account, is due April 10th 2020.
This LI Re private cat bond provides a cedent with collateralized reinsurance or retrocession protection covering losses from California earthquake risks.
