Sanders Re Ltd Series 2015-1

U.S. primary insurance group Allstate successfully turned to the traditional reinsurance market to purchase 7-year coverage that it failed to secure from the capital markets with its recently dropped Sanders Re 2015-1 catastrophe bond.

Allstate’s latest catastrophe bond issuance is not going as smoothly as its previous attempts to tap the capital markets, as investors showed an unwillingness to meet the insurers pricing ambitions leading to the book building “outside of guidance.”

U.S. primary insurance company Allstate launched its fourth Sanders catastrophe bond on Friday, seeking one of the longest coverages that the cat bond market has provided. The $130m Sanders Re Ltd. (Series 2015-1) is looking for a 7 year cover for multiple U.S. perils for the insurer.
