Political Risk Insurance
International investment in emerging markets and politically volatile regions carries risks that no commercial property or liability policy covers: government seizure, currency blocks, political violence, and contract frustration. Political risk insurance provides the financial protection to pursue international opportunities with confidence.
Protection Against Sovereign Risk
Political risk is distinct from commercial risk. It arises not from business decisions or market forces, but from the actions — or inactions — of governments and political actors. These risks are real, material, and historically responsible for significant losses by multinational companies in emerging and frontier markets.
We access the Lloyd's of London market — the world's primary underwriting center for political risk — as well as specialty US insurers including AIG, OPIC/DFC, and Zurich. This market access allows us to structure coverage for almost any country risk profile, including regions that standard US political risk carriers won't touch.
