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”.

Catastrophes P/C Insurers AIG More + Less -

NEW YORK—American International Group Inc.’s Chartis Inc. unit has obtained $575 million of catastrophe reinsurance coverage with Compass Re Ltd., Chartis announced Monday.

The transaction is fully collateralized through a three-tranche catastrophe bond issuance by Pembroke, Bermuda-based special purpose insurer Compass Re.

According to Chartis, the $575 million—more than double the $275 million originally sought by Chartis—will protect the New York-based insurer against U.S. hurricane and earthquake losses through December 2014. The deal closed on Dec. 1.

“We are pleased to be able to again obtain reinsurance supported by capital markets instruments as a mechanism to efficiently supplement and diversify Chartis’ risk management framework,” Chartis CEO Peter D. Hancock said in a statement announcing the transaction.
