Political Risk, Uncovered

Presenters: Alexander Frost, ARM, Alexander E. Russel, and Mickey Brown, CPCU, ARM (Moderator) 

May 12, at 11 a.m. ET

As the scale and nature of political risk grows, it is reassuring to know there is insurance coverage which protects a policyholder's equity investment in subsidiaries and assets worldwide from unforeseen political uncertainty. Businesses that have an ownership interest in property abroad may seek to cover a loss resulting from government nationalization of the property or other action by political actors that effectively deprives the policyholder of the property or restricts its operations. Coverage may be structured to insure assets including but not limited to physical assets, bank accounts, intercompany or bank loans, accounts receivable, inventory, retained earnings, supplies and work in progress. 

But of course, good risk management begins before transfer, and many of the exposures named above can also be mitigated through good preparation and sound precautions. 

Join Alexander Frost (Airmic) and Alexander Russel (Marsh) for an insightful webinar on the changing nature of political risk, as well as the risk management and insurance tools you can use to protect yourself.
