The Board of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) approved its staff to begin the process of renewing both catastrophe bonds and reinsurance for 2024 yesterday, with the understanding that around $1 billion more in reinsurance funding may be needed in 2024.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) is expected to buy more reinsurance and risk transfer in 2024 as its exposure grows and it has been advised to get into the catastrophe bond market sooner than later to renew a maturing issuance, while also starting its reinsurance renewal planning as soon as possible.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) expects to buy more reinsurance and risk transfer in 2024, as the not-for-profit wind and hail insurer of last resort for the state forecasts a significant increase in exposure, alongside a continued hard reinsurance market.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has now secured the reinsurance and risk transfer it wanted for 2023, with its tower placed to the targeted $4.508 billion and $1.2 billion of that provided by catastrophe bonds.

The Board of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has heard details of an industry-loss warranty (ILW) option for the top of its reinsurance tower, as the insurer of last resort considered buying more protection than its 1-in-100 requires for 2023.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has now secured double its initial target for reinsurance from its new 144a Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2023-1) catastrophe bond, with the issuance having its pricing fixed at $500 million in size, with a spread around 7% lower than the mid-point of initial guidance.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has raised its target for reinsurance from its new 144a Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2023-1) catastrophe bond issuance, with now up to $500 million of cover sought, which would be a doubling of the initially targeted size.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has upsized its reinsurance target to as much as $450 million for its latest venture to the catastrophe bond market, focusing solely on the 144a cat bond notes through an Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2023-1) issuance.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) is now back in the catastrophe bond market and seemingly looking to maximise the opportunity with a dual series issuance of Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2023-1 & 2023-2) cat bonds, one series offering Rule 144A notes, the other Section 4(A)2, Artemis understands.

The staff of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) are working with reinsurance broker Gallagher Re and its capital markets unit Gallagher Securities, to reset its existing $700 million of catastrophe bonds, renew a soon to mature $400 million cat bond deal, and begin discussions with reinsurers about its renewal needs.
