Eclipse Re Issues Its First Private Cat Bond of the Year, $100m Series 2026-1A
Eclipse Re Ltd., a Bermuda‑based special purpose insurer, issued its first private catastrophe bond of 2026 – a $100 million Series 2026‑1A note listed on the Bermuda Stock Exchange. The bond, likely covering property catastrophe reinsurance or retrocession, matures on December 31 2027, making it the largest cat‑bond lite of the year so far. This issuance brings total private cat‑bond issuance tracked by Artemis to $175 million YTD, still far below the $626 million recorded in 2025. Eclipse Re’s platform continues to enable efficient risk‑transformation for ILS managers and sponsors.
