Abstract

[fre] La titrisation des risques d'assurance est un marché de quelques années actuellement en pleine croissance. La technique utilisée consiste à reconditionner des risques d'assurance sous forme de titres négociables de type obligataire. En raison de la nature des risques, ces titres permettent de diversifier un portefeuille d'investissements et d'en améliorer le rapport performance/risque. Il s'agit d'un outil moderne et complémentaire à l'assurance qui devrait permettre d'apporter plus d'efficacité au niveau mondial, notamment dans le domaine des risques de catastrophes naturelles. . Classification JEL : G19 [eng] Securitisation of insurance risks : the Insurance Linked Securities. The Insurance Linked Securities are a recent and growing market. The mechanism involved consists in repackaging insurance risks into tradeable securities. Insurance Linked Securities can bring diversification to an investment portfolio as well as improve its return/risk ratio. They are believed to add more efficiency in the way insurance risks - particularly natural catastrophes - are currently managed. . JEL Classification : G19
