Key takeaways

Benefits of parametric policies

While property policies require that losses be reported, assessed, and adjusted in an often lengthy process, parametric policies can offer a more straightforward and potentially quicker claims process.

Limitations of parametric solutions

Parametric solutions, however, have some limitations, and are often used as a complement to conventional property and business interruption policies.

Choosing the right approach

To choose the right approach, risk professionals should understand their organisations’ risk tolerance and work with advisors that understand the benefits and drawbacks of each option and that can structure policies to effectively address their risk.
