Reinsurance Group Secures $400M 30NC10 6.75% Transaction

A reinsurance group has finalized a $400 million transaction structured as a 30NC10 (30-year non-cancellable, 10-year term) instrument with a 6.75% coupon rate, marking a significant capital-raising effort in the hybrid finance sector. The deal, announced in early 2026, reflects growing demand for specialized risk-transfer solutions amid evolving regulatory requirements and market volatility.

The 30NC10 structure, which combines long-term capital commitments with predefined maturity terms, has gained traction among insurers and reinsurers seeking to align liabilities with asset durations. The 6.75% rate aligns with recent trends in high-yield debt markets, where risk-adjusted returns remain attractive for institutional investors. This transaction is expected to bolster the reinsurance group's capacity to underwrite large-scale risk pools, particularly in property-catastrophe and life reinsurance segments.

Market analysts note that such hybrid instruments—blending features of debt, equity, and insurance-linked securities—are critical for firms navigating solvency constraints and low-interest-rate environments. The $400 million infusion positions the reinsurance group to expand its portfolio while maintaining compliance with capital adequacy standards.

Year-to-date data indicates a surge in ceded premiums across the U.S. life insurance sector, driven by "big block" reinsurance agreements. These deals enable primary insurers to offload legacy liabilities, freeing capital for growth initiatives. The 30NC10 structure's non-cancellable nature offers additional stability, reducing refinancing risks over the instrument's term.

While the transaction's specifics remain limited, industry observers highlight its potential to influence capital flows in the hybrid finance space. As insurers and reinsurers prioritize liquidity and regulatory resilience, transactions like this are likely to shape market dynamics in 2026 and beyond.
