Financial Institutions

Many of the worlds leading banks as well as non-bank financial institutions now access the commercial insurance market as a key source of distribution and risk management. With a wide range of asset classes now supported and potential aggregated transactional capacity running into the USD/EUR billions, insurance is a meaningful enabler of credit underwriting and lending. Further, a suite of products including comprehensive non-payment insurance, surety, political risk insurance and portfolio solutions,  means that there is a relevant solution for a significant proportion of financing activity.

Across our team at SRG, we have represented multiple financial institutions, across a variety of asset classes and in many geographies.

Public Agencies (DFIs, MDBs & ECAs)

With varying mandates including social impact, infrastructure development and the energy transition, the role of public sector financiers and insurers carries increasing significance.  Such institutions act through their own resource as well as crowd in private capital in different forms to achieve their objectives. Through accessing the commercial insurance market as both an insurer and reinsurer, such institutions grow their capacity, balance their portfolios and find support to meet their own specific goals.

The team at SRG have deep experience at building capacity through insurance on behalf of a range of DFIs, MDBs and ECAs.

Corporate Exporter

Despite the world appearing increasingly polarised, the ability to export to foreign buyers – whether government owned or commercial enterprises – is critical to the revenue streams of many companies. The nature of many export contracts can lead to periods of substantial negative cashflow during the performance phase and credit exposure once delivery obligations under the contract have been met. Designed around the specifics of your contract, pre and post shipment insurance can safeguard your exposure both to costs incurred  in performance as well as non-payment.

At SRG we access a deep insurance market underwriting such risk, enabling competition and the syndication of substantial limits.

Corporate Investor

For a variety of reasons including investment returns, development goals and securing resource, emerging markets can be an attractive destination for investment.

However, there may be elevated risks that are associated with the country in which the investment is to be made. Through a correctly structured political risk insurance policy, you can protect both your equity  investment in a foreign venture as well as secure your ability to receive dividends, repayment of share holder loans and the proceeds of a sale.

Working across the commercial insurance market and public sector agencies, SRG are ideally placed to help you make investment decisions with confidence.

Commodity Traders

In managing and facilitating huge volumes of the worlds supply of essential commodities and resources, trading companies play a vital role in global supply chains. Exposure to both political and credit risk is a natural consequence of the activity and geographical reach of such businesses. Whilst energy related commodities have traditionally been the focus of the engagement between commercial insurers and trading companies, a broader cross section of underlying products can be considered.

At SRG we work across the full suite of complimentary credit and political risk insurance products to both manage risk and enable trade.
