New York, New York (PRWEB) August 16, 2013
Zamansky LLC investigates Catastrophe (CAT) Bonds and Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) purchased by pension funds or other institutional investors. Catastrophe bonds and Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) are securities issued by insurance companies to insure against a known risk; for example, earthquakes in Arkansas or hurricanes in Japan. The investor purchases the CAT bond, earns a monthly return and receives back the principal if the risk insured against does not occur. If the risk does occur, then the investment is lost.
On April 9, 2013, the Insurance Journal published an article entitled "Pension Funds Looking For High Yields From Cat Bonds," which discusses how more and more pension funds and institutional investors are purchasing CAT bonds to boost yields. The article reports not only on the increase in offerings since 2007, but also states that CAT Bonds have gone "mainstream."
According to investment fraud lawyer Jacob Zamansky, CAT bonds and ILS are fraught with potential risks for investors, even highly sophisticated ones. For some pensions or institutional investors, the risks of CAT bonds or ILS may not be appropriate, Zamansky states. There also is no developed or regulated market for these products so that there is potential for pensions or institutional investors to misapprehend or even be potentially misled about the risks.
