Insurance-Linked Securities  and Catastrophe Bonds

Harvey, Irma, José, Mexican earthquakes, floodings in India and Southern Europe… Recently there has been many severe convulsions of nature, at a large human toll. Insurance indemnities in the US have gone into orbit. How can the insurance businesses protect itself against the effects of severe natural catastrophes? One way is to transfer risks to the vastly larger capital markets. Catastrophe bonds (cat bonds) are one instrument to achieve this. How do they work? What kinds of insurance-linked securities (ILS) other than cat bonds are there on the market? How have recent catastrophes affected cat bonds and other ILS? Who invests in cat bonds? Why are pension funds and asset managers attracted to cat bonds?
