Andrina SSPE

Following the completion of Brazil’s first-ever insurance-linked securities (ILS) issuance earlier this year, analysts at Fitch Ratings have highlighted how the country’s ILS framework marks the beginning of a new chapter for its re/insurance market.

The first ever insurance-linked securities (ILS) issuance in Brazil has been completed today, as local reinsurance firm IRB (Re) sponsored the issuance of a R$33.7 million deal to securitize surety bond risks, using its Andrina Special Purpose Insurance Entity (SSPE).
