End of week Artemis update - February 13th 2026

End of week Artemis update

Here's our latest Friday wrap-up of key news from the week.

Read a review of our ILS NYC 2026 conference that was held a week ago in New York.

Two more cat bonds were added to the market pipeline this week.

First, the latest that will provide hedging for an ILS manager, as the LGT ILS Partners linked reinsurer Lumen Re seeks $125m of limit through a Photon Re cat bond.

And, the latest first time sponsor to enter the cat bond market, Plymouth Rock Assurance with a $100m Tremont Re deal.

In addition, SafePoint successfully secured a two-thirds upsized $250m of reinsurance from its latest Nature Coast Re cat bond.

We also reported that MS&AD is seeking approval for an early redemption of its most recently sponsored catastrophe bond, given changed reinsurance needs of its insurer subsidiaries.

Cat bond fund strategies in the UCITS format have started 2026 positively, delivering an average return of 0.53% for January.

In other stories this week, Nuveen is set to acquire Schroders for around £9.9 billion, notably for our market with the Schroders brand to be retained.

With growing capacity demands within data centers, it presents a clear role for insurance-linked securities (ILS) and the capital markets, according to Aon.

Solidum Partners AG said the insurance-linked securities (ILS) market is uniquely positioned as a key capital source to support re/insurers as they deal with global warming.

AXIS Capital continues to leverage alternative capital and partner with insurance-linked securities (ILS) investors, with these activities generating attractive fee income in 2025.

Dutch pension PFZW has recently benefited from another $150 million return of profits through a dividend from Vermeer Re.

AIG CEO Peter Zaffino highlighted the insurer's launch of two sidecar-style syndicates at Lloyd's and said the company has a "strong pipeline of SPV opportunities".

Finally, if you haven't seen them, Artemis has a wealth of data and analytics on the catastrophe bond and broader ILS market. View our charts and Deal Directory.
