Jardine Lloyd Thompson Capital Markets (JLTCM) Inc., an affiliate of a leading global reinsurance brokerage firm, JLT Re, is pleased to announce another private placement catastrophe bond, Market 2016-3, which closed at $75 million. The new bond provides three year indemnity-based collateralized catastrophe reinsurance coverage for the cedent's largely New Jersey book of business. The transaction has one class.

"Investor interest for the diversifying geographic risk was strong and the deal was over-subscribed, closing at the tight end of guidance," commented Michael Popkin, Managing Director and Co-Head of Insurance-Linked Securities at Jardine Lloyd Thompson Capital Markets. "The growing size of our Market Re deals conveys the strong acceptance of the platform."

"As the overall process of coming to market becomes increasingly efficient, both in terms of cost and timing, we are seeing cedents making effective use of the Market Re platform to transfer risk to the capital markets," stated Rick Miller, Managing Director and Co-Head of Insurance-Linked Securities at Jardine Lloyd Thompson Capital Markets.

Ed Hochberg, CEO of JLT Re North America and Capital Markets, added "we continue to tie together the various components of JLT's services, namely brokerage, analytics, and capital markets, to provide our clients with comprehensive solutions and efficient risk transfer."
