Storm Exchange
Weather Risk Management Best Practices – Everything from Protecting Seasonal Income to Accelerating Customer Demand
David Riker, CEO, Storm Exchange
Though weather risk management is not a new practice, few businesses have fully quantified the impacts
of the weather on their sales, expenses, and, ultimately, profits. Moreover, there are many stories about
companies that have attempted to mitigate weather risk in the past, but have not structured the right kind
of program.
Fortunately, new tools and techniques to better manage weather risk have come of age. If you haven’t
taken a hard look at the weather derivatives market, please be sure you attend this session. We will
explore how today’s weather indices can accurately capture the risks presented by the weather to a
particular resort, and how they can be used to structure an over-the-counter derivative contract to
provide the precise level of risk protection a buyer might want – everything from contracts that protect
seasonal revenues to customer rebate programs that can accelerate customer demand for season tickets.
We’ll include a number of illustrative examples, and we’ll take pains to stress that accurately and
appropriately hedging weather risk begins with accurately correlating weather events to a resort’s
business results, operating history, traffic patterns, etc.
