Insights

Slide meaningfully expands reinsurance protection and diversifies capital, improving modeled catastrophe resilience.

Slide increased its total aggregate reinsurance limit to $5.463 billion from $3.304 billion, and first-event coverage to $3.981 billion from $2.557 billion. This larger tower helps absorb severe hurricane losses before they materially impact equity.

Retention is kept at no more than 25% of estimated pre-tax earnings, with modeled maximum retentions of $166.8 million for a 1-in-100-year first event and $150.0 million for a 1-in-50-year second event. These limits aim to keep earnings volatility within a defined risk appetite.

The program also broadens capital sources, adding 12 new markets and lifting the Purple Re catastrophe bond to $780 million from $660 million. All reinsurers are AM Best ‘A-’ or better or fully collateralized, which supports credit quality, though actual outcomes will still depend on realized storm activity during the 2026-2027 season.

A catastrophe bond is a type of bond sold by insurers or reinsurers that lets investors take on the financial risk of a specified natural disaster in exchange for higher interest payments; if the disaster happens, investors can lose part or all of their initial investment to cover insurer losses. It matters to investors because these bonds can pay attractive returns and behave differently from stocks and bonds, offering portfolio diversification—but they carry the real chance of a sudden, large loss, like collecting premium for an insurance policy that pays out if a house in a risky neighborhood burns down.

AM Best financial

"All reinsurers are rated AM Best ‘A-’ or better, or fully collateralized"

A.M. Best is a long-established credit-rating agency that evaluates the financial strength and ability of insurance companies to pay claims. Investors use its ratings like a weather report for insurers — a stronger rating signals lower risk of unpaid claims and more predictable cashflow, which can affect an insurer’s stock, bond prices, borrowing costs and appeal as a business partner.
