EVENT-LINKED BOND
Bond whose interest and principal payments are known based on the non-occurrence of unexpected events such as earthquakes and hurricanes, as outlined in the prospectus of the bond issue. It helps insurance and reinsurance firms to obtain financing and alleviate risks against major claims or catastrophe simultaneously. If an event, usually trigger event, happens, the bondholder could notice a loss of all future interest payments or a loss of most principal. Also called cat bonds or catastrophe bonds.
