Overview:

The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) is a tax-exempt state trust fund that provides reimbursement to residential property insurers for a portion of their Florida catastrophic hurricane losses. The FHCF is intended to be self-supporting, with funding primarily from actuarially determined premiums paid by residential property insurance companies, and, in some circumstances, revenue bonds backed by emergency assessments on a variety of property and casualty insurance premiums.

This presentation focuses on the importance of the FHCF for policyholders. It aims to provide an overview of the fund, why it was created, and how it is structured.
