Jardine Lloyd Thompson Capital Markets (JLTCM) Inc., which is part of JLT Re, the global provider of reinsurance broking and consultancy, announced it has arranged another Market Re private placement catastrophe bond, Market Re 2015-2, which closed at $70.509 million. The new bond provides one year indemnity-based collateralized catastrophe reinsurance coverage for the cedant's Florida book of business and forms part of the growing private markets for the replacement portion of the Florida Hurricane Cat Fund (FHCF).

'This latest Market Re transaction demonstrates the ability to do larger transactions via the platform,' commented Rick Miller, Managing Director and Co-Head of Insurance-Linked Securities at Jardine Lloyd Thompson Capital Markets. 'The cedant was able to diversify its reinsurance panel and achieve a very favorable outcome. Moreover, the cat bond allowed greater participation for the investor community into the cedant's reinsurance program.'

'The Market Re platform made the overall process an easy one for the cedant due to the high degree of standardization,' said Michael Popkin, Managing Director and Co-Head of Insurance-Linked Securities at Jardine Lloyd Thompson Capital Markets. 'Market Re shortened the overall timeline for the cedant, which allowed them greater flexibility around risk transfer. Given the close coordination in the program between the traditional and alternative markets, the Market Re platform helped to facilitate an overall successful execution for the client.'

CEO of JLT Re North America, Ed Hochberg, commented that 'JLT Re's integrated platform was critical in getting this done for our client. The close collaboration between capital markets and our traditional brokerage greatly enhanced our client's options, with the cat bond forming part of a much larger solution.'
