About investment risk insurance
Investors face credit, political, currency and counterparty risks that sit outside normal market volatility. Investment risk insurance transfers selected events, such as default, expropriation or currency inconvertibility, to insurers.
Basle structures cover for institutions, funds and corporates with cross border exposure, and coordinates specialist underwriters for larger limits. We arrange insurance only and do not provide investment management or securities advice.
