Catastrophe Bond Fund Indices – UCITS

These cat bond fund indices display the indexed returns of all the major UCITS catastrophe bond funds.

Developed by Plenum Investments AG, a specialist insurance-linked securities (ILS) investment manager, the Plenum CAT Bond UCITS Fund Indices are a set of indices designed to reflect the returns of all catastrophe bond funds available in the market in UCITS format.

These are investable total return cat bond fund indices only, with the values calculated and published on a weekly basis.

We only display the USD currency versions of these UCITS cat bond fund indices. Data on EUR and CHF versions are available at the Plenum website here.

These cat bond fund indices are calculated on an average and capital-weighted basis and are further divided into two risk categories for the average-weighted calculation. Live indices are available for all four USD categories, while a return since inception index is only available for the average and capital-weighted versions.
