Investors

With PCS on CatX, investors can access index-based opportunities such as industry loss warranties.

  • Reduce moral hazard. Industry loss thresholds reported by an independent party reduce the risk of adverse selection.
  • Diversify risk exposure. Indices allow direct participation in an industry portfolio of a specific risk.
  • Increase transparency. Insured losses are compiled and reported by an independent third party.
  • Lower transaction costs. Simple structures and legal language keep issuance costs down.

Brokers and insurers

Select the PCS indices you want in the submission builder, set the attachment and limit, and obtain quotes from alternative capital providers.

  • Improve rates on line. Investor appetite for simple, transparent structures means better-priced capacity.
  • Increase speed to market. An index speeds up modelling, pricing and placement.
  • Lower transaction costs. Simple structures and legal language keep issuance costs down.
