Political Risks

Barely a day passes without our media being dominated by acts of terrorism or incidents of war.  These threats have increased in number as cultures clash in a globalizing world.  The targets have become more often commercial than military or diplomatic.  At the same time, companies have increasingly sought to expand into less stable, developing countries in search of growth, resources and cost economies.
 
Many standard insurance products now specifically exclude the potentially catastrophic financial losses that arise from assets being destroyed by political violence and losses arising from political action.
 
Underwriters appreciate our dedicated presence within the specialist political risks market, as well as our knowledge of developments on the world stage and of our clients’ needs.  These factors enable us to tailor insurance packages on a bespoke basis and to innovate unique products.
 
We specialize in:

  • War on land
  • Terrorism
  • Confiscation, expropriation, nationalization and deprivation
  • Contract frustration
  • Kidnap & ransom

“By helping our clients to trade and invest in difficult political climates, we promote a brighter future for all involved”
