Residential Reinsurance 2022 Ltd. (Series 2022-1)

Insurer USAA has extended the maturity dates for two tranches of its Residential Reinsurance 2022 Limited (Series 2022-1) annual aggregate catastrophe bond issuance, amounting to $95 million of notes, which we assume is to allow for continued development of losses from the April 2024 to end of March 2025 risk period.

A number of USAA’s aggregate catastrophe bond tranches issued under its Residential Re program of deals have seen their secondary market prices marked repeatedly lower over recent months, with its losses from a severe convective storm (SCS) outbreak now driving them further down with some tranches marked near zero.

USAA has further upsized its latest catastrophe bond issuance to $430 million in size, demonstrating that investor appetite remained strong for the higher layers of its new Residential Reinsurance 2022 Limited (Series 2022-1) issuance.

The target issuance size for the latest catastrophe bond from U.S. primary mutual insurer USAA has been lifted to $415 million, while at the same time the pricing for all four of the remaining tranches of the Residential Reinsurance 2022 Limited (Series 2022-1) deal now look likely to settle at the top of raised guidance.

The latest catastrophe bond for long-standing sponsor USAA has seen its riskiest tranche of notes pulled from the issuance, while the pricing for the other four tranches of notes of the $375 million targeted Residential Reinsurance 2022 Limited (Series 2022-1) deal have all risen.

USAA, the U.S. primary mutual insurer, is sponsoring a $375 million plus aggregate catastrophe bond transaction, with a Residential Reinsurance 2022 Limited (Series 2022-1) deal being marketed to cat bond funds and investors.
