Glossary Definition: Parametric insurance is a non-traditional insurance model that triggers pre-determined payouts based on the measurement of a specific, objective environmental index parameter (such as wind speed, rainfall, or earthquake magnitude) rather than actual physical damage assessments. Deploying parametric insurance streamlines disaster recovery funding across global operations, allowing multinational enterprises to bypass the standard, time-consuming traditional insurance underwriting process following catastrophic weather events.
