Easton Re will provide the Company’s operating platforms with risk transfer capacity of $200 million to protect against United States and territories named storm and North American earthquake risk.

“We are extremely pleased to announce the success of our second sponsorship of Easton Re bonds,” said Hanni Ali, Senior Vice President. “Easton Re continues to be an important part of Hamilton’s strategy as a newly public company, providing meaningful protection to our operating platforms at an attractive risk adjusted cost.

“That we have secured more retrocession than initially targeted and at a better price than original guidance, underscores investor confidence in Hamilton. We are encouraged by the continued support and aim to further build on our relationships with ILS investors.”

The Easton Re catastrophe bond has been issued from Bermuda and the risk period will run from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026.
