Ursa Re Ltd. Series 2017-2

The latest catastrophe bond from the California Earthquake Authority (CEA), the Ursa Re Ltd. (Series 2017-2) transaction, has so far not increased in size, still targeting $400 million of collateralized quake reinsurance, but the price guidance has now been fixed at levels which show very little in the way of uplift.

The California Earthquake Authority (CEA) is returning to the catastrophe bond market once again with a $400 million Ursa Re Ltd. (Series 2017-2) transaction, which will be its fifth cat bond using the Ursa Re vehicle and its ninth where we have the CEA listed as sponsor in our Deal Directory.
