Parametric NatCat

Due to the growing impact of climate change, the world is confronted with an increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters. In addition, geophysical threats such as earthquakes lead to significant humanitarian and economic losses. Parametric NatCat solutions based on predefined triggers and payout schemes offer broad protection against a wide range of natural disasters – for clients in both the corporate and public sectors.

Parametric NatCat solutions enable coverage for otherwise difficult-to-insure risks, such as non-physical business interruption, tax income shortfall and emergency response costs. They facilitate swift claims settlement and provide accelerated financial support. That’s why they help to narrow insurance gaps and to increase insurance penetration in largely underinsured, but at the same time highly exposed geographies.
