POLITICAL RISK

UNDERSTANDING POLITICAL RISK

Political risk originates from civic revolution or other political conditions, which can
ultimately result in loss. As globalization increases, more corporations are transacting
across the globe than ever before, thus increasingly the level of exposure to political
risk. Political Risk coverage enables investors to realize the full upside potential of
foreign investments, while mitigating the exposure of often catastrophic and
unforeseen political events.

In order to assess your need for this coverage, you need to know the risks. Types of
political risk include, (but are not limited to):

Political violence, such as revolution, insurrection, civil unrest, terrorism or war


Governmental expropriation or confiscation of assets
Governmental frustration or repudiation of contracts
Wrongful calling of letters of credit or similar on-demand guarantees
Business interruption
Inconvertibility of foreign currency or the inability to repatriate funds
