So, it’s insurance, but backed by investment bankers and capitalists, at the expense of small governments. Brilliant. Can’t see any way this could end badly.
Done well, it can be ok. Catastrophe bonds are decent as a means of buying insurance for really big but infrequent damaging events, like earthquakes. Not that its done well on any kind of consistent basis
Could say the same thing about plain ol’ insurance, really.
