Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the market won't cover what you fear most
Traditional insurance leaves you exposed
Build your own captive, take control of the risk
Capital commitment but flexibility's crisp
Self-insurance reserves, simpler to start
Dedicated funds to protect your heart

[Chorus]
Beyond traditional, we're thinking ahead
Captive and parametric, contractual thread
When black swans circle, don't wait for the storm
Transfer the risk, keep your business warm
C-A-P, that's the way to be
Captive, parametric, contractually free

[Verse 2]
Parametric pays when the trigger hits hard
No loss assessment, no claims that are scarred
Earthquake magnitude, currency falls
Pandemic indices answering the calls
Days not years to get your payout
That's what parametric is all about

[Chorus]
Beyond traditional, we're thinking ahead
Captive and parametric, contractual thread
When black swans circle, don't wait for the storm
Transfer the risk, keep your business warm
C-A-P, that's the way to be
Captive, parametric, contractually free

[Bridge]
Force majeure clauses poorly designed
Twenty-twenty taught us we were blind
Material adverse change provisions
Price adjustments, currency decisions
Draft your contracts with black swans in mind
Leave no loopholes for risk to find

[Verse 3]
Currency denomination protects your trade
Price adjustment mechanisms professionally made
Transfer the risk through contractual art
Every clause playing its vital part
Post-pandemic we've learned to write
Contracts that work when everything's not right

[Chorus]
Beyond traditional, we're thinking ahead
Captive and parametric, contractual thread
When black swans circle, don't wait for the storm
Transfer the risk, keep your business warm
C-A-P, that's the way to be
Captive, parametric, contractually free

[Outro]
When the unexpected comes to play
These tools will guide you through the fray
Beyond traditional, that's the modern way
Protecting business every single day
