(CB).
A high-yield bond whose full payout is dependent on a given natural disaster not happening.
This has the effect of providing insurance-like financial protection to the bond issuer. If the particular catastrophe happens, the issuer pays less - or in the extreme case nothing at all - on the bond.
The investor enjoys a higher yield, in exchange for accepting the catastrophe risk effectively transferred from the issuer.
Also known as a Cat bond.
