Political Risk Insurance Political risks are inherently difficult to predict and past events are not a reliable indicator of what will happen in the future. While investing in developing markets can offer attractive new revenue and margin opportunities it can also present a variety of political risks that are beyond an investor's control and can quickly leave them facing loss. Lenders Insurance Advisory Practice Lenders, investors and sponsors of infrastructure projects, which are financed on a limited recourse and/ or non-recourse basis, are exposed to a wide range of insurable risks. These risks can impact their asset base, interrupt their revenue stream and may affect the projects' ability to repay lenders or investors. Structuring The Structuring team complements the existing Financial Solutions offering to our clients by broadening the range of asset classes covered and structures involved. We can consider transactions and inquiries from anywhere that we and our clients operate. Terrorism and Political Violence The profile of terrorism is constantly evolving. It has become a globally strategic political tool, deployed not only by religious extremists, but also a broad spectrum of actors with secular political or social motivations. The evolution of tactics and targets requires constant monitoring and adapting of risk management strategies in each territory where a company operates. Trade Credit Insurance Trade credit insurance provides indemnification for the non-payment of trade receivables. With trade credit insurance in place, companies can generally extend more open credit to customers or enter new sectors or markets. This has the impact of reducing the risk of non-payment, thereby enabling sales growth without a corresponding increase in risk. VAPOR A unique analytics tool, VAPOR enables global companies to assess in real dollar terms the financial impact of political risk exposure by industry and country.
