Reinsurance and Cat Bonds: Explained
For those unfamiliar with the concept, reinsurance acts as a safety net for insurance companies. In essence, it allows insurance companies to share risks with other entities, providing financial protection in the event of significant losses due to catastrophes.
Cat bonds, a specific type of reinsurance, function similarly to traditional bonds. Investors purchase cat bonds, essentially providing capital to the insurance company. In return, investors receive a high rate of interest. However, if a predetermined catastrophe occurs within the specified region, the bondholders forfeit their principal investment, which is then used to compensate policyholders for their losses.
