When you trade or invest across borders, your balance sheet is at risk

Our team can arrange Credit products to help mitigate exposures for a company or financial institution trading or investing overseas. Available products provide coverage against non-payment or non-delivery of a contract; the subject matter to be insured can include but are not limited to, accounts receivables, loans, amounts due under a Letter of Credit or amounts not honored against a guarantee.

We can also arrange Political Risk Insurance (PRI). PRI products are designed to address your cross-border exposure to government action and political events in emerging markets. Some industries are highly reliant on physical operations located in politically volatile countries. PRI covers political events including the direct and indirect actions of host governments that negatively impact investments and are not properly compensated for war, trade embargoes and expropriation, all of which can impact your business and bottom line. The product also serves as protection for shareholders, creditors and other financial partners against unforeseen losses due to a covered event.

We work with commodity traders and the banks that finance them, as well as with equity investors who have subsidiaries or physical assets abroad. Our global client base includes leading banks, construction companies, international commodities traders, industrial companies, miners, oil producers and exporters.
