Two new private catastrophe bond arrangements have been issued by Artex Axcell Re, the Bermuda based Artex Risk Solutions operated transformer entity, with almost $48.26 million of notes sold to investors across the two series, Artemis has learned.

These are the first two private cat bond issuances we’ve seen so far in 2026 from the Artex Axcell Re (Bermuda) Limited transformer and cell facility, which is owned by Artex Risk Solutions.

Including these two Artex Axcell Re deals we have now tracked 12 of these cat bond lite transactions so far in 2026, while issuance of these privately placed catastrophe bond deals has reached approaching $278.3 million year-to-date.
