Finance

Alisios’s financial services help reduce and transfer hazard-related risk and strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities: from econometric and information-theoretic analysis of risk drivers, to financial forecasts, to the co-design of risk-transfer and anticipatory instruments such as parametric insurance, forecast-based financing (FbF) and forecast-based action (FbA).

Parametric insurance pays a predefined amount when an event, measured by agreed parameters, occurs; it avoids lengthy loss assessments and speeds up payouts. FbF and FbA release funds and actions on the basis of forecasts, before a hazard strikes.
