BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Paris-based reinsurer Scor S.E. has placed a fully collateralized sidecar to provide it with an additional three-year capacity of $55.5 million, the company announced Monday.

Scor said the Ireland-domiciled special purpose vehicle, Atlas X Reinsurance Ltd., which is backed by a new panel of investors, would provide Scor's global property/casualty unit with retrocessional reinsurance coverage for a proportional share of its property/catastrophe portfolio, via a quota-share agreement.

The deal became effective Jan. 1.

“Whilst we are no stranger to the collateralized reinsurance market, this is the first time we have arranged a cat-specific protection via a quota-share sidecar solution,” said Victor Peignet, CEO of Scor Global P&C, in a statement.

“It marks an important step in adding new long-term partners to our reservoir of cat capacity,” he added.
