US primary insurer Allstate has updated on its catastrophe losses suffered through September and all of the third-quarter, which added to its Q2 tally takes the insurers pre-tax total for the first six months of the annual aggregate year for its catastrophe bonds to $3.88 billion.Favourable re-estimates of some prior period events means that the $357 million of reported catastrophe losses for September have not made as significant an impact to the running tally of cat losses during the annual aggregate reinsurance risk period for Allstate’s cat bonds.After August, Allstate’s pre-tax total for catastrophe losses across the first five months of the annual aggregate year for its catastrophe bonds, which begins April 1st, had already risen to around $3.69 billion.Remember that, , with the annual risk period for those cat bonds beginning on April 1st, 2023.

Total catastrophe losses for the third quarter reached $1.18 billion, pre-tax.The second-quarter saw Allstate reporting $2.7 billion of pre-tax catastrophe losses.As an additional reminder, .
