Political Violence & Terrorism
Standalone PVT where property markets exclude it.
Standalone political violence and terrorism cover for assets in territories where standard property markets step away — sabotage and terrorism through to war and counterinsurgency.
Disciplined placement for volatile exposures
Our recommendations start from a clear understanding of the risk and the structure around it. With access to several markets we can offer flexible capacity and respond efficiently when terms and conditions are well presented.
We aim to be flexible and solution-based, and to give a quick response on quotations — which matters most on exactly the risks that other markets are slow to answer.
Where PVT earns its place
Standalone PVT is usually the answer where a property programme has excluded political violence outright, or where an asset sits in a territory that the standard market treats as binary.
We treat these placements case by case. Appetite varies sharply by territory and occupancy, so an early conversation saves everyone time.
