2 CREDIT, POLITICAL & SECURITY RISKS CONSULTANCY

3 Protecting business and securing opportunity INTRODUCTION Political risks, security threats and considerable economic uncertainty means that the business environment has rarely felt more volatile. We have seen the emergence of new non-state actors in the Middle East and Africa as part of the global expansion of extremist movements, leaving the stability of many states in the balance. Global economic growth remains tarnished by underlying debt, leading to erratic, fickle policymaking that is difficult to plan for. The end of the commodities supercycle means that many countries lacking true economic diversification now face upheaval. With greater risk volatility there is always significant business opportunity, however, investors must continually challenge their perceptions of country and economic risk if they are to secure opportunity. Commercial success depends upon identifying and taking the right risks. Yet in the context of increasing levels of political and economic complexity, organisations are required to demonstrate that they understand risk and are adequately protecting their people, assets, data, contracts and brand. Political risks, terrorism, cyber risks and kidnap for ransom can generate direct impacts on people, assets and operations, and have consequences for brand and reputation. Recognising that brokers need to offer advice that extends beyond which insurance product to buy, JLT Specialty built an in-house consultancy team. We bring perspective to risk, helping our clients gain clarity and secure opportunity.

16 CREDIT, POLITICAL & SECURITY RISKS analytics & consultancy OUR EXPERIENCE TERRORISM LONDON A major financial institution wanted to understand their exposure to terrorism at their UK trading operation. We produced a probable maximum loss (PML) study determining property damage, business interruption and employee exposures to a range of scenarios. The PML was used to inform purchasing limits on their risk transfer. SAFE TRAVEL NEW YORK An international TV News organisation wanted to improve the way they managed stories in hostile environments. We visited their high-risk operations to understand their specific needs and then rewrote their global travel and crisis management policies and procedures. We then delivered crisis management rehearsals for their global and regional leadership teams.

17 Protecting business and securing opportunity KIDNAP FOR RANSOM AFRICA An African focused investment operation wanted to review their exposure to kidnap for ransom risks. We conducted a rapid analysis of their operations and then worked with the risk and security departments to refine their corporate governance arrangements. We then ran a tender process to allow the client to select an appropriate third party response consultant. POLITICAL RISKS AUSTRALIA A regional construction company was seeking a more sophisticated way to consider investment and operational risks across South East Asia. We produced a model for the client to use internally that weighs investment decisions based on a range of risk factors. We keep this model updated with contemporary data on behalf of the client.
