Abstract

The main focus of this paper is to develop a framework for pricing of a multiple-event coupon paying CAT bond. The model is the first of its kind to address theoretical issues of pricing of an insurance-linked security that derives its value based on two underlying processes: catastrophic insured property losses and catastrophic mortality. It is also the first study that develops a CAT bond with a multiple-event structure. In addition, this work provides a numerical evaluation of the bond's price using the UK catastrophic data provided by Swiss Re. The findings of our analysis may be interesting to insurance and reinsurance companies and other financial institutions that want to transfer their exposure to catastrophic risks, including risk of terrorism, to capital markets.
