Risks covered
We focus on transforming insurance risks driven by events such as earthquakes, hurricanes or floods into investment products. We do this by transferring risk out of the traditional insurance sector into the capital markets for investors seeking alternative asset classes.
With a team of experts based mainly in Bermuda and New York, we work closely with specialist funds and partners in many capacities in the Insurance Linked Securities markets. We act as both structurer and sponsor of Catastrophe Bonds, broking private placements between Allianz and capital market investors. We also act as a transformer between financial and insurance execution formats and as an investor.

- supply risks (e.g. wind for wind farms, warmth for plant growth, water for hydro-power generation, etc.)
- operational risk (e.g. snow and ice cancelling flights, low rivers impacting barge traffic, cooling of manufacturing plants, etc.)
- demand risk (e.g. cold weather affecting battery and coat sales, hot weather increasing beverage sales, etc.)
