The team particularly focuses on the provision of credit insurance, covering non-payment by sovereign entities (termed contract frustration) – as well as private and quoted companies (termed credit) – under trade and non-trade financings. We have a broad remit and expertise spanning a wide range of asset classes, including general corporate, commodity, asset (shipping and aviation), project, trade and sovereign financing. We have the ability to provide coverage for up to 7 years on credit insurance policies, and up to 15 years for contract frustration policies.

The Political and Financial Risk team have a wide geographical footprint due to the capability to underwrite risks on the Lloyd’s London, Lloyd’s Brussels and Lloyd’s Singapore platforms, aligning the team to key client locations. 

We adopt a client-centric and partnership approach, through establishing long-term working relationships with our insureds (via a small number of highly specialised brokers). This, together with our insight on latest market/economic dynamics and technical understanding, enables the team to provide timely and high-quality service to our clients.
