#1
ILS Market Size (AUM)
$105B
MANUAL
Total insurance-linked securities market size. Growing fast post-2017/2022 loss events as traditional capital reloaded slower than ILS. Market now institutional-grade at $105B.
#2
Cat Bond Average Spread (5Y)
SOFR+695bps

#3
Secondary Market Pricing (Avg)
98.4¢ on dollar
MANUAL
Secondary market bid for outstanding cat bonds. Below par = pricing in elevated loss expectations or liquidity premium. Above par = strong demand, spread compression.
#4
Atlantic Hurricane Activity
Above Normal (NOAA)
MANUAL
NOAA seasonal outlook — primary trigger peril for US cat bonds. Above-normal season = elevated loss probability for Florida wind and Gulf coast exposures.
#5
New Issuance Pipeline (QTD)
$4.8B priced
MANUAL
New catastrophe bond issuance this quarter. Strong pipeline = ILS investor appetite high, cedants accessing capital markets efficiently. Signals market health.
#6
Attachment Probability (Median)
3.2%
MANUAL
Median annual probability of attachment (loss trigger) across outstanding cat bonds. Translates to expected loss — your return-vs-risk anchor for portfolio construction.
#7
ILS Fund Returns (YTD)
SOFR+320bps net
MANUAL
Estimated net return for diversified ILS fund strategies. Above SOFR+250 = ILS delivering on its Sharpe ratio vs. comparable credit. Drives LP allocation decisions.
#8
Collateral Yield (T-Bill)
5.25%
FRED · DTB3
Cat bonds are fully collateralized — the collateral earns T-bill rate. At 5.25%, the collateral yield itself covers cost of capital for many investors before spread income.
