Key Details

Investors should note that analyst ratings and price targets are subject to change based on market conditions and company performance.

HCI Group, Inc. has entered the tokenized real-world assets market with a pilot project featuring digital tokenized reinsurance securities. The securities offer contractual returns that mirror the performance of specific participations by its Cayman Islands-based reinsurance subsidiary, Fortex Reinsurance SPC, Ltd., in HCI's catastrophe excess-of-loss reinsurance programs. The initiative aims to expand investor access to catastrophe risk as an asset class by lowering investment barriers, shortening investment duration, and potentially increasing liquidity for qualified investors.

The initial pilot project consists of three separate digital tokenized securities available for purchase through SurancePlus. Each token has a distinct risk-return profile and may be purchased individually or combined through varying allocations, enabling investors to tailor catastrophe risk exposures to their investment objectives.

*Illustrated values reflect the following: (1) no catastrophe losses affecting the underlying reinsurance participation, (2) redemption at the end of the annual risk period, and (3) values are before any additional return from collateral investment income.

The securities are structured to align with the annual reinsurance treaty cycle, resulting in a meaningfully shorter investment horizon than is typical for many traditional insurance-linked securities offerings, including catastrophe bonds. The minimum investment is set at $5,000 for qualified U.S. accredited investors under Rule 506(c) of Regulation D and qualified non-U.S. investors under Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

While synthetically structured to mirror the performance of specific participations by Fortex Re in HCI's 2026-2027 catastrophe excess-of-loss reinsurance programs, these securities are issued by SurancePlus and have no impact on Fortex Re's or HCI's reinsurance programs.
