Investment in Emerging Markets

 

Political risk insurance is designed to protect companies that operate globally. It bridges the gap between property and casualty coverage, which leaves out government intervention, by providing protection against the direct actions of a country’s government.

Typical companies that have a need for political risk insurance include:

 

  • Companies that currently operate in or plan to invest in emerging market economies.
  • Companies with manufacturing plants or significant inventory and equipment outside of the US, Canada, and Western Europe. 
  • Companies that have entered into joint ventures or long- term leases in locations outside of the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe.
