Presentation: Investing in Natural Disaster Risk

Insurance-linked securities, including catastrophe bonds, provide investors with exposure to the financial risks associated with large insured natural disasters. While natural disasters occur regularly around the world, this type of risk can be priced and transferred through securitization techniques designed to isolate catastrophe risk from traditional capital market drivers.

John will discuss how insurance-linked securities can provide investors with access to an alternative asset class with a potentially attractive risk and return profile, as well as the factors that shape opportunities in the space.

  • Learn how catastrophe bonds and other insurance-linked securities work
  • Explore an alternative asset class with limited correlation to traditional capital markets
  • Gain insight into how natural disaster risk can be priced and securitized
