Catastrophe Bond Market Yield

This chart allows you to analyse the total yield, or return, of the catastrophe bond market over time, in US dollars, as well as its constituent parts.

plenum-investments-logoThe data has been collated with the assistance of our kind partner Plenum Investments AG, a specialist insurance-linked securities (ILS) investment manager.

The data is broken out into the insurance risk spread for catastrophe bonds that is paid by their sponsors and the yields on the underlying collateral (3-month US Treasury Bills).

We also include the expected loss of the set of outstanding catastrophe bonds, so that the return-related information can be compared with the actual level of risk being ceded to the market.

Using this chart you can analyse the yield, or return potential, of the outstanding catastrophe bond market over time.

If you’ve ever been wondering “what is the yield on cat bonds” or “what is the yield of the catastrophe bond market”, now you can precisely find that out, for any specific date range (just click and drag the chart to zoom in) across a data set that begins in late 2010.

The data for this chart showing cat bond yields will be updated on a monthly basis.

Assumptions for calculating insurance risk spreads:

  1. For bonds that have an average bid price above or equal to 50, the discount margin is calculated the standard way.
  2. For bonds that have an average bid price below 50, the coupon instead of the discount margin is used because for such positions, there is a higher likelihood of partial of full default than of recovery and therefore the high discount margin value that would be calculated at such prices is unlikely.

Collateral yield instrument is based on USD 3-month US Treasury Bills.

Catastrophe bond expected loss data is taken from offering circular information, using sensitivity when available, or standard when not available.

Calculated using the market weight of each catastrophe bond (cat bond nominal, divided by total market volume) as the weight for the corresponding cat bond discount margin.
