Updated: Oct 4

Parametric Insurance

When it comes to business insurance, it’s more important than ever to have innovative solutions that address emerging risks—especially for clients facing climate-related threats. Parametric Hurricane and Typhoon Insurance is designed to do just that. Unlike traditional insurance, it’s an innovative solution that offers quick payouts based on predefined events without requiring lengthy claims processes. It's perfect for clients facing climate risks, supply chain disruptions, and other emerging challenges.


In this blog, we break down what parametric insurance is, who it benefits, how to file a claim, limits offered, how to quote, and key benefits.


What Is Parametric Insurance?

Parametric insurance is a type of coverage that simplifies the claims process. Instead of waiting for a damage assessment, payouts are automatically triggered when certain parameters—such as a Category 3 hurricane or a specific wind speed—are met. This makes the process quicker and more transparent for everyone involved.


For hurricanes and typhoons, the policy pays out a predetermined amount as soon as the threshold is met, eliminating the need for a long and drawn-out claims process.


Who Can Benefit from Parametric Insurance?

Parametric insurance is particularly useful for businesses and infrastructure providers facing climate-related risks, including:

  • Businesses: Those at risk of supply chain disruptions, asset damage, or revenue loss due to extreme weather events.

  • Infrastructure Providers: Power plants, roads, and other public facilities that need to safeguard critical systems.

It’s also a great option for clients in underinsured regions or sectors where traditional insurance might be difficult or expensive to obtain.


How Do You File a Claim?

Filing a claim under parametric insurance is simple. Once the event parameters, such as wind speed or storm category, are verified by a trusted third-party, the payout is automatically triggered. There’s no need for a lengthy back-and-forth with claims adjusters—just quick, hassle-free payment.


What Limits are Offered?

Parametric insurance offers a wide range of coverage, including:

  • Business Coverage: Protection for inventory, physical assets, and lost revenue.

  • Infrastructure Coverage: Safeguards critical infrastructure, such as power plants, roads, and public facilities.


How Do You Get a Quote?

Getting a quote for parametric insurance is straightforward. You’ll need to gather details about your client’s risk profile, such as location, type of assets, and exposure to climate risks. From there, insurers can provide coverage options tailored to your client’s specific needs.


Key Benefits of Parametric Insurance

  • Effortless Claims: No complex claims processing—just a straightforward payout.

  • Quick Payouts: Once the predefined event occurs, the payout is made fast, with no restrictions on how the funds can be used.

  • Transparency: Triggers are clear and objective, verified by a third-party to ensure fairness.
