Munich Re has assisted Zurich Insurance Group in a US$ 270m catastrophe bond transaction that transfers the risk of earthquakes in North America to the capital markets. Munich Re acted as joint lead structuring agent in the transaction.
The bond with a three-year period was issued by Bermuda registered Lakeside Re III Ltd., replacing the expiring US$ 225m Lakeside Re II Ltd. transaction issued in December 2009. The bond has a variable rate of interest based on the risk premium and yield paid from a US money market fund which collateralises the catastrophe bond.
