SageSure scales sidecar platform with new $200m Seawall Re II vehicle (Artemis.bm)

SageSure has launched its second collateralized reinsurance sidecar, Seawall Re II Ltd., securing a much larger $200 million quota share reinsurance facility that brings total third‑party sidecar capacity on its Seawall platform to $250 million, following a $50 million debut deal in 2025. The sidecar is designed to align capital providers, SageSure, and its underwriting partners by providing diversified catastrophe risk exposure and incremental capacity that reduces carrier partners’ net catastrophe risk. SageSure highlights its strategy of building long‑term investor relationships via transparent, data‑driven catastrophe risk management and expects to secure about $7 billion of first‑event reinsurance limit for 2026, alongside $2.785 billion of multi‑year cat bond protection from the capital markets.

ADB aims to issue cat bond for Kyrgyz Republic & Tajikistan (Artemis.bm)
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is planning to issue its first-ever catastrophe bond in the first half of 2026, valued at $120–$150 million, to protect the Kyrgyz Republic and Tajikistan against earthquake and flood risks over a three-year term. The parametric bond, called a Disaster Relief Bond (DRB), will be issued directly under ADB's Global Medium-Term Note (GMTN) program, leveraging its AAA credit rating to simplify the structure and reduce costs — eliminating the need for a special purpose vehicle or collateral. Payouts will be triggered automatically based on predefined disaster thresholds, providing up to $50 million per country for earthquakes and $10–$25 million for floods, with each country also receiving a $15 million grant from the Asian Development Fund to help cover risk premiums.
