ILS Market Update Q2 2012
Q2 2012 Market Review
Capital inflows help to alleviate upward pressure on pricing as issuance volume exceeds maturities






With US-insurers approaching the hurricane
season, 78% of Q2 issuance volume provided
cover for US hurricane (in both single-peril as well
as multi-peril transactions)
Citizen‘s transaction, Everglades Re, was upsized
significantly from $200m to $750m by offering an
above-market risk spread of 1775bps; this
accounts for the sudden upturn in US Wind
spreads at the end of April (see graph at right)
Greater disclosure of sponsors’ exposures within
the offering documents has gradually increased
the market receptivity for indemnity transactions,
with 63% of Q2 issuance being UNL-based
After a series of severe natcat events in 2011,
rising reinsurance rates were anticipated, which
led to an increase of spreads in the ILS market as
well
As for US hurricane pricing, current spread
widening is driven by the upcoming hurricane
season and its effect on secondary market trading

Nevertheless, spread widening was somewhat
alleviated by the crisis surrounding the Euro, as
the liquidity glut caused low yield levels in
mainstream debt markets and continued to draw
capital into the higher-yielding ILS space
Moreover, the ILS community saw this year‘s first
bond covering Japanese typhoon: Akibare II
provides sponsor Mitsui Sumitomo with coverage
of $130m at an attractive price level

Citizens Property Insurance Co. and Louisiana
Citizens Property Insurance Co., two legislativelycreated residual market carriers, tapped the ILS
market for the first time to lock in $750m and
$125m of Florida and Louisiana hurricane
capacity, respectively


1
After the strongest first quarter in the market‘s
history, momentum stayed high, with a total
volume of $2.1bn mainly placed in April and May,
thereby lifting outstanding volume in the non-life
ILS market to a new all-time high of $14.3bn

ILS Market Update Q2 2012
Market Outlook
Cat bonds with regionally limited exposure benefit from investors’ risk bucket-based pricing

Investor portfolios remain over-weighted in US hurricane, particularly Florida, and the need to balance portfolios has
consistently led to higher return requirements for hurricane transactions

Similar to reinsurers, dedicated cat funds pursue a risk bucket-based investment approach, with a certain
investment budget being allocated to every risk bucket, e.g., Florida hurricane, Texas hurricane, a.o.

Within this investment framework, return targets for cat bonds affecting only one risk bucket are considerably lower
than for bonds that affect several buckets; therefore, risk spreads for cat bonds covering hurricane on a nationwide
basis have widened more than regionally-exposed cat bonds

We expect pricing for single-peril cat bonds covering limited regions to continue achieving a considerable discount in
the near future, as compared to cat bonds with broader coverage, as seen in secondary market pricing for hurricane
cat bonds (illustrated in the graph at right below); moreover, US earthquake and Non-US perils will continue to
benefit from investors’ diversification targets

That being said, with the bulk of exposure within cat bond portfolios coming from Florida and US Southeast
hurricane, pricing advantages from a limited coverage scope should not apply to these areas

Oversubscription in bookbuilding could help to offset transaction costs in smaller-sized cat bonds




The fixed costs to set up a cat bond have been a
roadblock for smaller, regional companies targeting
lower coverage volumes to tap the ILS market
Meanwhile, the broadening of the ILS investor base
over the last few years has enabled insurers to create
excess demand during a bond’s bookbuilding and to
upsize their initially planned volumes without having to
raise risk spreads above price guidance
Yet, instead of upsizing a transaction at a given price,
oversubscription could also be used to decrease the
risk spread at a lower issuance volume
Smaller insurers could use this procedure to help offset
the relatively high fixed transaction costs in smallersized transactions; we will lay out this concept in more
detail in the upcoming edition of our ILS Market Update
