SageSure scales Seawall Re sidecar franchise; secures $200 million in reinsurance. Business Wire Expanded sidecar platform reinforces SageSure's market leadership in bridging institutional capital and high-quality catastrophe risk. JERSEY CITY, N.J., March 10, 2026-(BUSINESS WIRE)-SageSure, the largest residential property MGU in the US specializing in catastrophe-exposed markets and a top global sponsor of catastrophe bonds, today announced the close of its second reinsurance sidecar transaction with Seawall Re II Ltd. ("Seawall Re II"), securing $200 million in capital. In conjunction with its carrier partners, SageSure programs are expected to secure approximately $7 billion of first event reinsurance limit in 2026. Including the debut Seawall Re transaction in July 2025, the SageSure-sponsored sidecar platform has now secured $250 million in less than a year. This rapid expansion underscores SageSure's pioneering role in the convergence of reinsurance capital and capital markets in the catastrophe risk space, a strategic priority as the company continues to mature the insurance-linked securities (ILS) asset class for institutional investors. "SageSure is committed to building long-term investor relationships, and Seawall Re II is a direct reflection of that commitment," said Terrence McLean, President and CEO of SageSure. "We believe that the future of catastrophe risk management lies in the ability to provide investors with a transparent, data-driven gateway to profitable underwriting results. We look forward to continuing to build investor trust with high-quality data, proactive reporting, and sustained outperformance." This transparency facilitates a quota share structure that creates alignment between capital providers, SageSure, and SageSure's underwriting partners SURE, Elevate, SafeChoice, Auros, Interboro, and GeoVera Nova. Carrier partners benefit from incremental catastrophe capacity and reduced net risk positions, while capital providers gain access to a well-priced, well-managed, and diversified catastrophe risk portfolio. GC Securities, a division of MMC Securities LLC, acted as the sole structuring and placement agent for the sidecar transaction. Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP served as deal counsel. "We're proud to have partnered with SageSure on the Seawall Re platform since its inception," said Liam Martens, Managing Director of GC Securities, a division of MMC Securities LLC. "The strong investor response signals SageSure's differentiated approach to catastrophe risk management is highly attractive to the capital markets. We look forward to building on this momentum as the Seawall Re franchise scales."

We are grateful for the strong investor support for this transaction.” With a “losses occurring during” (LOD) quota share structure, the transaction provides retrocessional protection for Anchor Re for the 2025-2026 treaty year. Four of SageSure's carrier partners—SureChoice Underwriters Reciprocal Exchange (“SURE”), SafeChoice Insurance Company (“SafeChoice”), Auros Reciprocal Insurance Exchange (“Auros”), Elevate Reciprocal Exchange (“Elevate”)—benefit from this extra capacity. “The inaugural Seawall Re sidecar transaction is a significant milestone in our partnership with SageSure,” said Travis Lewis, Director of Anchor Re. “SageSure's diligent underwriting and portfolio management have resulted in an appealing risk profile we believe is difficult to replicate. We're grateful for the investor trust in our growth and success.” GC Securities, a division of MMC Securities LLC, acted as the sole structuring and placement agent for the sidecar transaction. “We're proud to have supported SageSure and Anchor Re in the debut Seawall Re sidecar issuance,” said Liam Martens, Managing Director of GC Securities. “The strong execution signals that SageSure's differentiated catastrophe risk underwriting and portfolio management approach resonates with investors.” About SageSure SageSure is one of the largest managing general underwriters focused on catastrophe-exposed property in the US.
