Annual cat bond issues hit US$6.7 billion, with coverages including U.S. hurricane, Canadian earthquake

There was an “unprecedented demand” for catastrophe bonds during the 12 months ending June 30, with no loss activity resulting in cat bond payouts for that period, while several new bonds cover Canadian earthquake risk, according to Aon Benfield Securities Inc.

. . . .”Only one life was lost in falling buildings at New Madrid, but chimneys were toppled and log cabins were thrown down as far distant as Cincinnati, Ohio, St. Louis, Missouri, and in many places in Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee,” UGSG stated of the February, 1812 New Madrid quake. The first New Madrid quake — on Dec. 16, 1811 — was felt in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Charleston, South Carolina.

The risk of a similar quake today is covered on an indemnity basis by the Merna Re IV bonds issued in April on behalf of State Farm. That bond was priced at 2.50%, “the lowest absolute spread in five years,” Aon Benfield Securities reported.

Aon Benfield Securities, a subsidiary of London-based Aon plc, provides cat bonds, contingent capital, sidecars, collateralized reinsurance, industry loss warranties and derivative products.
