In our first blog article on Catastrophe and Extreme Value Theory which can be found by clicking here, we looked at methods for predicting outcome probabilities for climatic events.
I promised that I was going to follow up with another article on how operational risk and catastrophes can be market traded, this new blog can be found here.
The ability to trade exposure from catastrophes or to allow insurance firms to securitise their underwritten risk is an important aspect of the insurance market. This year there have been numerous disasters which potentially could put the reinsurance industry under strain however, insurance linked securities could be a solution to this problem.
I hope you enjoy the article and there will be more postings coming out soon in this space.
