Overview
What we do
Parametric Insurance is an alternative solution to traditional insurance products, where extreme climate conditions are a potential cause of financial loss.
Parametric cover is a good way of protecting contingent business interruption where you have no direct ownership but do have a financial interest.
Parametric cover works by stating a limit with certain parameters to trigger a pay-out.
Underwriters calculate the probability of the pay-out using historical weather indexes to provide the premium payable.
The pay-out is not based on any physical damage loss, but purely the trigger point being satisfied and is normally paid within 7 days of verification of the event.
A key benefit of parametric cover is they are paid from the ground up.
