Parametric Earthquake Reinsurance for portfolio protection - Combining Earthquake intensity measurements with clients' portfolio spread to structure parametric solutions
This session will explore how parametric earthquake reinsurance can be used to enhance portfolio protection by aligning objective seismic intensity measurements with the geographic distribution of insured assets. By integrating hazard data with clients’ portfolio spread, parametric solutions can be structured to provide rapid, transparent payouts following seismic events. The discussion will highlight how such approaches can complement traditional reinsurance by improving capital efficiency and offering tailored protection against earthquake risk.
