Catastrophe Bonds: Sharing the Risk of Natural Disasters
The cost of the devastation from Australia's recent natural disasters is
still being counted. Floods in Victoria and severe storms on both sides
of the country, along with the earthquake damage in New Zealand, have
impacted on the lives of thousands. Strangely enough, these events often
occur in clusters which means insurers are also hard hit. But, these
days insurance companies can transfer their risk to the capital markets
through catastrophe bonds. With these relatively new assets increasing
in popularity, Julian Lorkin of Knowledge@Australian School of Business
asks Morton Lane, head of the financial engineering program at the
University of Illinois, about insurers' latest means of passing on
risk.
