Cat bonds with a five-year length are uncommon available in the market and so this issuance sees Allstate seeking to lock in capital markets backed reinsurance for a longer-term, than its extra typical three and 4 12 months time period notes.
With the cat bond market providing enticing pricing presently, Allstate appears to be like to recognise this and capitalise on investor appetites presently to safe long-duration fully-collateralized reinsurance protection.
