Catastrophe bond market yields may have declined over the last two years, but specialist Swiss insurance-linked securities investment manager Euler ILS Partners believes this is a normalisation, or a return to more historically normal pricing, rather than a structural shift in demand.
The catastrophe bond market continued to expand through the second-quarter of 2026 and as well as the outstanding cat bond market size increasing, Euler ILS Partners notes that the number of outstanding deals rose as well, which the ILS manager explained highlights “sustained sponsor activity and robust investor demand across the market.”
The investment manager further stated, “Primary market pricing moderated from the peak levels observed in 2023 and 2024. Together with easing collateral yields, the overall USD return potential declined from its peak, reflecting a broader normalisation of market conditions. Despite this adjustment, yield levels remain attractive relative to long‑term historical averages, continuing to support the appeal of Cat Bonds.”
