Effective Risk Transfer
The Tyser Political and Trade Finance Risk team are experts in enabling effective risk transfer for organisations involved in cross border transactions, investments and projects - from traders to corporations to financiers.
There are many risks faced every day by organisations trading and operating around the world. Risks range from contractual non-payment and government intervention to politically motivated violence and Force Majeure events. Each of which can lead to a serious potential financial loss for an organisation.
In a world of ever increasing competition and heightened political tensions organisations must seek the most effective means of managing their risks. A key tool in effective cross-border risk management is political risk and trade credit insurance.
The private political risk and trade credit insurance market is well established having been operating for over thirty years. The development of the market has led to its positive acceptance by traders, corporations, multinationals, financiers and the publicly owned Export Credit Agencies.
Today, you are just as likely to see the private insurance market co-operating and working with financial institutions than compete against them to ensure that clients have the best risk transfer mechanism for themselves.
The Benefits of Political and Trade Finance Risk insurance
Political risk and trade finance insurance provides policy holders with many benefits. In addition to the normal positive reasons for purchasing insurance - increased confidence, security and risk management - there are serious commercial benefits:
- Enables improved access to finance
- Enables an organisation to do greater business than imposed country limits allow
- Enables an organisation to do greater business than imposed counterparty limits allow
- Provides greater confidence and risk management when accessing new / non-traditional markets
- Access to knowledge held by the insurance market in structuring transactions
