TWIA

Gallagher Re looks set to win a major new reinsurance broking client thanks to its acquisition of Willis Re, as the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA’s) Actuarial & Underwriting Committee continues to make the recommendation for a change.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA’s) Actuarial & Underwriting Committee met yesterday to review proposals for reinsurance broking services and has voted to recommend the TWIA Board approve a change to Willis Re, which also has ramifications for the issuance of its catastrophe bonds.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has further demonstrated its commitment to the catastrophe bond market at its 2021 reinsurance renewal, with multi-year coverage from the capital markets now making up 57% of its $1.93 billion program tower.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) is now expected to double in size its new Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2021-1) catastrophe bond transaction, which will now more than replace a soon to mature $400 million cat bond from 2018.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) remains focused on securing the planned just over $1.9 billion of reinsurance protection at its renewal this year, as its Board has turned down the option of adding an extra nearly $1 billion of protection.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has returned to the catastrophe bond market with a $250 million or larger Alamo Re Ltd. (Series 2021-1) transaction, which will go at least some of the way to renewing a soon to mature $400 million cat bond from 2018.

In renewing its $2.1 billion reinsurance and catastrophe bond program for 2020, the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) paid some 19% more in terms of overall rate-on-line (ROL) compared to the prior year.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has successfully secured the $2.1 billion of reinsurance protection it was targeting for the 2020 storm season, with its new catastrophe bond and its doubling in size a key piece of the renewal for the residual market insurer.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association’s (TWIA) new Alamo Re II Pte. Ltd. (Series 2020-1) catastrophe bond issuance has successfully been doubled in size thanks to strong demand from investors and will now provide the residual market property insurer $400 million of reinsurance protection.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA) has lifted its target for the recently launched Alamo Re II Pte. Ltd. (Series 2020-1) catastrophe bond issuance, with as much as $400 million of reinsurance capacity from the capital markets now on the cards.
