- In the past, the CAT bond market has been criticized for lack of investor interest. However, that assessment is now outdated—recent data suggest broad market interest in CAT bonds among institutional investors. Figure A9.8 shows the percentage of new issue volume by investor type in 1999 and 2007. In 1999, insurers and reinsurers were very prominent on both the supply and demand sides of the market and were among the leading investors in the bonds, accounting for 55 percent of the market. If insurers and reinsurers are on both sides of the market, the market cannot be said to have attracted very much new capital into the financing of catastrophic risk. However, by 2007, insurers and reinsurers accounted for only 7 percent of demand, suggesting that substantial external capital has been attracted to the market. Dedicated CAT funds accounted for 55 percent of the market in 2007, and money managers and hedge funds accounted for 36 percent. The declining spreads and increasingly broad market interest in the bonds suggest that the bonds are attractive to investors and are playing an increasingly important role relative to conventional reinsurance. 2009, J. David Cummins, Olivier Mahul, “CAT Bonds and Other Risk-Linked Securities: State of the Market and Recent Developments”, in Catastrophe Risk Financing in Developing Countries: Principles for Public Intervention (World Bank e-Library), World Bank Publications, →ISBN, page 226:

- With fresh material, taxonomic conclusions are leavened by recognition that the material examined reflects the site it occupied; a herbarium packet gives one only a small fraction of the data desirable for sound conclusions. Herbarium material does not, indeed, allow one to extrapolate safely: what you see is what you get[…] 1992, Rudolf M[athias] Schuster, The Hepaticae and Anthocerotae of North America: East of the Hundredth Meridian, volume V, Chicago, Ill.: Field Museum of Natural History, →ISBN, page vii:
