More details on the Mercury investible Catastrophe Risk Index (MiCRIX)
Mercury iCRIX, the first investible catastrophe risk index, has been developed by Bermuda based fund manager Mercury Capital Ltd. The index captures pure sector exposure of insurance linked assets without the idiosyncratic risk associated with individual asset selection.
Based on pricing data collected from a panel of reinsurance brokers, the index reconstructs a diversified portfolio of Industry Loss Warranties (ILWs) representing a low volatility strategy with expected returns in the high single digits. Capital in the fund is largely protected from any single loss event.
The index tracks the performance of a balanced portfolio of the following peak peril exposures; US Quake, US Regional Wind, European Wind, Japanese Quake and Japanese Wind. For each peril, risks attach across a range of insured industry market loss levels approximating a market weighting approach. The index portfolio generates a return broadly sufficient to absorb the total loss of a single tower of exposure, insulating the index from a negative annual return from a single loss event. The index has experienced only three down months in the 87 since inception; including full pillar losses in 2011 from the Japanese earthquake (the first triggered Japanese earthquake loss since the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake) and 2012 from Hurricane Sandy.
The Index Calculation Agent is Prime Management, a division of SS&C GlobeOp, active in the risk-linked securities market since 2002.
Mercury Capital Ltd launched the MiCRIX Tracker Fund in December 2012 to track the performance of MiCRIX.
