Augment Risk, a risk capital and reinsurance solutions broker, has expanded the capabilities of its Latin American (LatAm) platform to include specialist weather parametric and structured weather risk transfer capabilities.<\/p>\n

\"AugmentThe broker explained that this expansion aligns with its capital first philosophy, structuring risk solutions around clients\u2019 financial and liquidity needs, rather than relying on standardised indemnity frameworks.<\/p>\n

The team, based in Miami, will focus on designing and structuring weather-based solutions tailored to energy producers, utilities, and large industrial clients.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the team will leverage proprietary analytics and modelling, data-driven triggers, and clearly defined payout mechanisms.<\/p>\n

Across Latin America, weather risk remains a material and often unmanaged exposure for energy companies and other weather-sensitive industries, as traditional insurance struggles to respond efficiently to high-frequency, non-catastrophic weather volatility, explained the broker.<\/p>\n

To counter this, parametric structures and structured weather risk transfer solutions provide a more direct, transparent, and capital-efficient complement to conventional coverage.<\/p>\n

To strengthen this initiative, Augment Risk has appointed Sergio Isaza and Andres Cardona as weather risk consultants to its Latin America platform. The duo has experience across weather risk, energy markets, risk management, finance, and ESG, including prior advisory work with energy and infrastructure clients across Latin America on weather-related risk structuring.<\/p>\n

The pair will play a central role in building and scaling the platform, reinforcing the broker’s commitment to capital markets expertise with experienced hands-on practitioners who understand both the technical and commercial realities of the weather market.<\/p>\n

Alejandro Solorzano, Associate Partner, Parametric, Augment Risk, commented, “As climate variability continues to drive earnings volatility across Latin America, Augment Risk intends to be a long-term partner for clients seeking disciplined, purpose-built weather risk solutions.<\/p>\n

“Expanding into this space is a natural extension of our capital-first philosophy, applying structured risk transfer and capital markets thinking to real operational weather exposures, particularly for industries that require certainty, speed, and clarity without ambiguity.”<\/p>\n
