Parametric Insurance

  • Has the ability to provide swift, transparent, and tailored coverage to fill gaps in coverage.

  • Is a supplement to your traditional policies.

  • Pays out a predetermined amount if impacted by the catastrophic event insured against. Payout may be more or less than actual damage sustained.

In an ever-evolving world where unexpected events can wreak havoc on one’s financial stability, the need for innovative insurance solutions has become paramount. One such solution that has gained significant attention is parametric insurance.

Parametric insurance is a type of coverage that pays out predetermined amounts when specific events occur, regardless of the actual loss suffered. Instead of assessing individual claims, parametric policies utilize easily measurable and verifiable indices or triggers. These triggers could include factors such as weather patterns, seismic activity, or other measurable parameters directly related to the insured risk.

Benefits of Parametric Insurance:

  1. Speedy Payouts: One of the most significant advantages of parametric insurance is the speed at which claims are settled. Since payouts are triggered by predefined events, there is no need for lengthy claim investigations or loss assessments. Once the trigger is met, the policyholder receives the agreed-upon amount.

  2. Transparency and Certainty: Parametric insurance policies offer clear terms and conditions, with payouts determined objectively based on predefined parameters. This transparency reduces the potential for disputes, as the trigger event is typically verified by reliable data sources.

  3. Customized Risk Management: Parametric insurance allows for tailored coverage that precisely matches the insured's risk exposure. By selecting specific parameters as triggers, policyholders can align the coverage with their unique circumstances.

  4. Fills Gaps in Traditional Policies: Parametric insurance is a supplement that can help cover deductibles and out of pocket expenses.

  5. Enhanced Resilience: With quick payouts after a triggering event, policyholders can recover and rebuild without significant disruption.

As large-scale catastrophic events continue to be more prevalent and traditional insurance policies continue to evolve, we foresee a greater need for parametric options. For homeowners across the Midwest, options for tornado coverage have already been released with anticipated options for wind and hail events soon to follow.
