Political Risk
You don't shy away from political upheaval. Neither do we.
Some of the best business opportunities today require your company to venture into remote locales where you face a higher likelihood of riots, coups, embargoes, and other political upheavals. You need protection against these more exotic risks, and Zurich is more than able to take these on.
We provide political risk insurance for more than 300 of the world's leading companies including financial institutions, multinational corporations, project developers, investors, exporters and infrastructure developers. Zurich's relationship with public agencies and international banks in over 150 countries allows us to create structured overseas deals for your organization any place you need to do business. Our global underwriting staff is highly skilled in aligning your organization's goals with the local needs. Zurich's in-depth understanding of emerging markets and innovative solutions is one of the reasons we've been named by Trade Finance magazine as "Best Private Insurer" for ten years straight.
