Title: Exploring the Effect of the Convergence of Insurance/Reinsurance and the Capital Markets
Authors: Richard Sandor
Volume: 6  Number: 3  Issue: Spring 1999  Page: 48
Abstract:  Looking at how markets evolve is important to understanding why alternative risk transfers are developing in spite of declining insurance rates and better capitalized companies. Could this pattern of structural change, financial instrument and exchange creation be true for other markets? A look at such examples as a security and a commodity suggests that the answer is yes. And just as markets developed for commodities, such as grain, insurance in the form of catastrophe events will evolve into a commodity that will be attractive to capital markets. These markets will provide money for the securitization of insurance.
