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”.

cat bond

Ariel Re said Wednesday it has secured $175 million of multi-year collateralized reinsurance through a 144A catastrophe bond issued by Bermuda special purpose insurer Titania Re Ltd.

Titania Re Series 2021-2 will provide cover to Ariel Re against North American named storms and earthquakes using an indexed industry loss trigger, Ariel Re said in a statement.

Strong demand from investors allowed the bond to be increased to $175 million from $150 million, according to Daniel Pell, ceded underwriter at Ariel Re.

The Class A Principal At-Risk Variable Rate Notes are due Dec. 27, 2024, and were placed privately, according to a statement Tuesday from the Bermuda Stock Exchange.

Ariel Re placed its first cat bond Titania Re Ltd. Series 2021-1 in June.

Ryan Mather, CEO of Ariel Re, called Titania Re “an important part of our strategy.”

The catastrophe bond closed Dec. 21 with TigerRisk Capital Markets & Advisory as sole structuring agent and joint bookrunner and Aon Securities LLC  as joint bookrunner.
