Tremor Completes Historic Reinsurance Auction
Pricing and Placing a Property Catastrophe Tower Programmatically
GREENWICH, Conn., Dec. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tremor Technologies, Inc., a programmatic risk transfer platform, has successfully priced and placed a significant, large panel property catastrophe program for a top 20 U.S. property and casualty insurance company.
Nearly 50 reinsurers from the traditional U.S., Bermuda, Lloyd's, EU and APAC markets, along with several alternative capital markets participated in the auction bidding nearly $700 million of capacity across a multiple layer reinsurance tower.
The program was priced and placed successfully and the technology performed exceptionally well.
"We are thrilled with the success of our first large panel property catastrophe reinsurance placement. It was a true team effort including a highly innovative reinsurance buyer, a technically savvy reinsurance broker and the majority of the reinsurance industry adopting our technology to make the first truly programmatically priced and placed property catastrophe program a success," said Sean Bourgeois, founder and CEO of Tremor.
Tremor is planning further auctions in 2019 with commitments from additional reinsurance buyers in place. With over 60 reinsurers representing nearly $350 billion in capital signed-up and trained to bid, Tremor is extremely well positioned to execute further transactions to become the world's leading programmatic risk transfer platform.
