industry loss trigger

In the latest new product roll-out to its specialty insurance and reinsurance lines loss reporting services, Property Claim Services (PCS) will now provide data on worldwide aviation loss events.

An increase in use of PERILS industry loss triggers in industry-loss warranty (ILW) transactions focused on European windstorm risk, plus the buoyant catastrophe bond market, have helped to drive PERILS-based limits at risk up 11% to US $3.2 billion, as of the end of August.

The recently completed $150 million Titania Re Ltd. (Series 2021-1) catastrophe bond is an important part of Ariel Re’s strategy, according to the reinsurance firm’s CEO Ryan Mather, who also said that partnership with ILS investors is beneficial to the company,  its clients and its owners.

Global reinsurance firm Ariel Re has now finalised its first catastrophe bond to benefit its Lloyd’s of London Syndicate 1910 with a price drop of roughly 14%, as the coupon was fixed at the low-end of reduced guidance for its $150 million Titania Re Ltd. (Series 2021-1) retro cat bond.

The first catastrophe bond that will benefit reinsurance firm Ariel Re’s Lloyd’s of London Syndicate 1910 looks set to see its pricing fall by roughly 10%, as the marketed spreads dropped on the Titania Re Ltd. (Series 2021-1) retro cat bond.

Another new sponsor has entered the catastrophe bond market, with Ariel Re’s Lloyd’s of London Syndicate 1910 set to benefit from a targeted $150 million of retro protection from a Titania Re Ltd. (Series 2021-1) cat bond issuance, according to sources.

Following conversations with a number of market sources, it seems that the market for industry-loss warranty (ILW) protection has softened year-on-year, following on the heels of the catastrophe bond market as capacity turns its attention to ILW’s in the run up to the renewals.

With the Florida reinsurance renewals fast approaching, it’s interesting to learn that indicative pricing for industry-loss warranty (ILW) protection covering hurricanes affecting the state is up significantly year-on-year, but actual market pricing may be flat or even down.

The industry loss warranty (ILW) market saw pricing spike to levels aligned with the pre-mid year 2020 market, as attention shifts to arranging hedges and covering Florida exposures, broker Willis Re has said.

In light of current market conditions and a heightened awareness about the hidden costs of UNL or indemnity business, it makes sense to leverage the industry loss index product, according to Tom Johansmeyer, Head of PCS.
