Opportunities in Catastrophe Bonds
October 2023 | Catastrophe bonds are outcome-oriented investments with low correlation to the broader capital markets. Because they do not move in line with traditional financial stocks, these instruments provide potential opportunities for investors to expand the scope of their portfolios. In addition, they have offered more attractive risk/return characteristics over the past 10 years than have many traditional asset classes.
01 | The performance of insurance-linked securities, including catastrophe bonds, is linked to low-probability but high-severity events. As a result, their performance generally has a low correlation to traditional financial markets.
02 | The reinsurance industry has been in existence for over 150 years, and its benchmark, the Swiss Re Global Cat Bond Index, has delivered positive returns in 20 of the past 21 years.
03 | A supply/demand imbalance for reinsurance, compounded by recent events over the past several years, may have significantly increased the investment opportunity, and we expect these trends to continue into the foreseeable future.
