Insurance and reinsurance

The insurance and reinsurance section of the Finance, Insurance and the Economy subsite covers primary insurers, reinsurers, catastrophe risk pools and insurance-linked securities: how exposure, catastrophe model, loss and parametric trigger records are identified and verified, crosswalked to the IAIS Insurance Core Principles, Solvency II and climate disclosure standards. Every artifact of the area carries a UNI (Unique Nexus Identifier), which identifies and never certifies.

01Scope

Insurance and reinsurance: what the area covers, and what it leaves to others.

The sectors and industries section of Finance, Insurance and the Economy. Scope as the area context entry states it (PROPOSED).

In scope 5

  • Exposure and catastrophe model input and output records with versions
  • Insured loss records linked to hazard event UNIs
  • Parametric trigger definitions, calculation agents and payout records
  • Protection-gap indicators
  • Climate scenario and disclosure crosswalks

Out of scope 3

  • Pricing, underwriting or claims decisions
  • Solvency calculations
  • Model validation by supervisors

Jurisdictions No jurisdiction note is recorded for this area yet; jurisdiction narrows what applies and never implies that a Nexus profile satisfies a law.

05Restricted compatibility profiles

1 closed standard, named only.

Closed or paywalled standards appear by name and link only; any compatibility profile of one is built on simulated data and kept on protected pages until an institutional arrangement with the issuing body is recorded. Nexus Standards is not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by any standards body named here.

06Systemic couplings

4 couplings to other areas and subsites.

Each coupling names the mechanism that links this area to another; select a card on the canvas to trace it. Mechanisms are stated in the context bank (PROPOSED).

Canvas · the area and its couplingsDesign, not a record
Insurance and reinsurance: systemic couplingsThe couplings the area context bank records for Insurance and reinsurance: 2 areas in Finance, Insurance and the Economy, 2 areas in other subsites and 2 subsites reached. Each coupling carries a mechanism stated in the context bank (PROPOSED); a reading aid, not a dependency proof.

Fig.RUNNING marks the area you are reading; DONE an area in the same subsite, QUEUED an area elsewhere and GATE a subsite reached. Tags give reading order only, never a status. Design, not a record.

  1. BankingFinance, Insurance and the EconomyInsurance protects collateral; uninsured losses become credit losses in bank portfolios.
  2. Development finance institutionsFinance, Insurance and the EconomySovereign risk pools and contingent finance are often co-financed by development banks.
  3. Humanitarian and civil societyHumanitarian Action and DevelopmentParametric payouts fund anticipatory and early response when triggers are met.
  4. Agriculture and land useWater and Food SystemsIndex-based crop and livestock insurance depends on agricultural and weather records.
07Data and feeds

4 sources, with provider, licence and delivery path.

Sources the area reads or proposes. Delivery follows GRIx first; a source is shown live only after an owner decision admits it for public pages.

Every feed · pending admission

No legal register row admits any of these sources for live display on public pages yet, so nothing is read from them here. A register row that exists records the source for the governed GRIx path; admission for public pages is a separate owner decision.

08Readiness

What each pathway can read from this area.

GCRI Canada evidence pathway

GCRI Canada

Insured and economic loss records linked to hazard event UNIs become readable as evidence for GCRI Canada protection-gap research under its own rules.

Open the GCRI Canada evidence pathway

Recognition pathway

The Global Risks Forum (GRF)

A risk pool that publishes its trigger clauses and payout attestations gives GRF a record trail to consider; recognition is GRF's decision.

Open the Recognition pathway

Capital pathway

The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)

Parametric and risk-transfer instruments can present verified trigger provenance and loss histories to GRA, which decides capital readiness.

Open the Capital pathway

Each institution decides under its own rules what it reads as evidence; no pathway is an approval, a readiness statement or investment advice.

11Audiences

Who works with this area: 4 audiences.

  1. Insurers and reinsurers
  2. Catastrophe risk pools
  3. Insurance supervisors
  4. Parametric programme designers
12Working group

The working-group charter, proposed.

Scope

Profile exposure, catastrophe model, loss and parametric trigger records and crosswalk them to the IAIS ICPs, Solvency II and disclosure standards.

No working group is chartered yet; a community may charter this one under NS-13 through a docket.

Deliverables · 3
  1. Parametric trigger provenance profile (data source, calculation agent, correction rules)
  2. Catastrophe model run record profile with versioned inputs
  3. Crosswalk to IAIS ICPs by ICP number
Liaison targets · 4
  • International Association of Insurance Supervisors liaison sought
  • Insurance Development Forum liaison sought
  • EIOPA liaison sought
  • Global Shield secretariat liaison sought
13Open problems

3 open problems an expert would start with.

  1. Basis risk in parametric products is rarely measured against observed losses after payout.
  2. Catastrophe model outputs are proprietary, which prevents independent verification of risk estimates.
  3. Protection-gap estimates diverge widely because economic and insured loss sources differ.
14References

4 sourced references.

Peer-reviewed sources and published statistics on the publishers' own domains, as the context entry cites them.

15Learning

Drafted content that no authority has adopted. Every area entry here is a proposal to the Nexus Standards registry.
crosswalk
Relation: Nexus clauses are mapped to parts of the external standard by number, never by text.
cite
Relation: the external standard is cited by identifier and URL as a reference.
compatibility profile (restricted)
Relation to a closed or paywalled standard: named and linked only; any profile is simulated and kept on protected pages.
pending admission
No legal register row admits this source for display on public pages yet, so nothing is read from it.
GRIx
The governed data layer of Nexus Foundry: external data is read through it with its licence and source release.
docket
A public change record under NS-13, decided by editors with written reasons.
attestation
An evaluator's recorded result for one clause and one subject under NS-11; never a certification.
liaison sought
A liaison the working group would ask the body for; none is held unless the body confirms it in writing.
18Learn and apply

Where Insurance and reinsurance is taught, worked on and run.

Risk Academy disciplines that teach Insurance and reinsurance, with their courses; the GCRI Canada, The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) subsites that carry those disciplines; and the Nexus Foundry systems the standards name. Mappings are proposed for review (Risk Academy standards map, 2026-10-17); a link says a page on the same subject exists, never an endorsement or a conformance statement; framework names in course titles are named and linked, never reproduced.
