Kilimanjaro Re Ltd

Global insurance and reinsurance firm Everest Re has lifted its targets for its latest catastrophe bond issuances, with the company now hoping to secure between $500 million and $800 million of retrocessional reinsurance from the Kilimanjaro Re III transactions.

Global insurance and reinsurance firm Everest Re has returned to the catastrophe bond market for its first issuance since April 2018, as it seeks to add at least $375 million of fully collateralized reinsurance protection by sponsoring a Kilimanjaro III Re Ltd. cat bond issuance.

The target size for Bermudian reinsurance firm Everest Re’s latest catastrophe bond issuance has increased by 75%, with the reinsurer now seeking $525m of collateralized retrocessional reinsurance from the twin Kilimanjaro Re Ltd. (Series 2018-1) and Kilimanjaro Re Ltd. (Series 2018-2) transactions.

Bermudian reinsurance firm Everest Re is back with its latest catastrophe bond issuance, which sees the company bringing twin Kilimanjaro Re deals to secure at least $300 million of protection, from Kilimanjaro Re Ltd. (Series 2018-1) and Kilimanjaro Re Ltd. (Series 2018-2) issues, covering identical layers of risk but with different durations.

The Kilimanjaro Re Ltd. (Series 2015-1) catastrophe bond which is currently being marketed on behalf of reinsurance firm Everest Re looks set to more than double in size, from the $300 million it launched at, to $625 million by the close.

Bermudian reinsurance firm Everest Re is back in the catastrophe bond market seeking a $300m, or greater, source of collateralized reinsurance protection for U.S. named storm and earthquake risks with a Kilimanjaro Re Ltd. (Series 2015-1) issuance.

The settlement and completion of the $500m Kilimanjaro Re Ltd. (Series 2014-2) catastrophe bond today takes 2014 issuance of new cat bonds and insurance securitisations to $7.143 billion, keeping the market on track for a possible record year.

Everest Re’s latest catastrophe bond, the now $500m Kilimanjaro Re Ltd. (Series 2014-2), has been priced with the coupon settling at the mid-point. The cat bond notes have also received their rating and a little more detail on the transaction has emerged as a result.

The Kilimanjaro Re Ltd. (Series 2014-2) catastrophe bond, launched recently for Bermuda reinsurance firm Everest Re, reflecting strong investor demand for the ILS asset class is set to increase in size by 43% to secure the reinsurer $500m of protection.

Bermuda headquartered reinsurance company Everest Re is returning to the catastrophe bond market with its second issuance this year, with the launch to investors of Kilimanjaro Re Ltd. (Series 2014-2) a $350m U.S. and Canada earthquake cat bond.
