What is Parametric Insurance?

Essentially, Parametric Insurance is an index-based solution that works as a guaranteed payment received by you should certain events, such as a natural disaster, occur.

Unlike traditional insurance solutions that will only pay you if losses occur, Parametric Insurance payouts are triggered by specific events, such as floods.

These events must be objective, independently verifiable and transparent. A simplified example of this is if there is a major flood event, your business could be entitled to a guaranteed X amount of dollars given that specific conditions are met (such as flood levels reaching a specified depth within a certain geographic area).

Parametric Insurance can be useful if your business is highly dependent on plant, products and equipment, such as:

Mines

Retailers

Property developments

Food and beverage storefronts and warehouses

Warehouses

Storage companies

Car and automotive dealerships

Shopping centres

Tourist destinations

Hotels and accommodation

Factories

Telecommunications providers

Wineries

Farms and High Value Agriculture

Storage companies

Manufacturers

This is not an extensive list. Please contact us to see if Parametric Insurance is right for your business.

Through Parametric Insurance, our clients are able to bypass the complexities of the investigation process when making claims. Parametric Insurance can give you peace of mind through guaranteed and efficient payouts.

How does Parametric Insurance work?

As an index-based solution, Parametric Insurance only provides coverage if certain events are met. These ‘events’ are based on a measurement agreed between you and the insurer.

For example, in the case of a flood, you can only receive your payout if the flood reaches a certain measurement of depth, or in the case of a cyclone, the cyclone has to fall from a maximum distance from your Insured location.

Thanks to constant improvements in technology and AI, the data used to determine events allows for more accurate pricing and bespoke solutions for clients.
