Cadwalader acted as transaction counsel on the Fidus Re insurance-linked bond, which was named Life Transaction of the Year at the 2019 Trading Risk Awards in London. Cadwalader accepted the award jointly with Build America, a mutual insurer and sponsor of the transaction, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC., as arranger.
Fidus Re provides protection to Build America in respect of a portfolio of public-purpose municipal bonds. It is the first insurance-linked bond transaction to cover financial guaranty insurance risk and the first to cover municipal bonds.
