Now that just over two months have passed since the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a global pandemic, we have produced an analysis of how the crisis is affecting credit and political risk insurance (CPRI) and the response of our market thus far. Read it here.
Our Clients
Our clients include many of the world’s leading banks and financial institutions, commodity traders, exporters and corporate investors. Each has different insurance requirements in relation to their lending, investment and trading activities and we have developed products tailored to meet these requirements.

Many of our relationships span more than 25 years, giving us unrivalled insight into the sector. We have the resource and capacity to service clients’ high-volume, time-critical business needs.
