Cat bond lite

Term · Insurance and risk management · MLC-T-INS-000705

A type of catastrophe bond with a simplified structure and lower issuance costs compared to traditional cat bonds. These transactions often involve smaller deal sizes, standardized documentation, and private placement with a limited number of investors. The reduced complexity and expense make them an accessible alternative for smaller insurers or for covering more specific, regional perils that do not warrant a full-scale, publicly issued catastrophe bond.
