Transfer Risk Strategically

Our parametric reputation insurance:

Provides unrestricted funds to cover director personal losses (lost going-forward board seat compensation, future engagements or opportunities) or enterprise losses arising from reputational impairment.
Signals to stakeholders that a business has a robust risk strategy to understand and manage its enterprise-wide reputation. Think of it as a “financial guarantee of quality.”
Provides investors, lenders, and other sources of financial transactions with confidence in the elevated resilience of a business, which often leads to lower capital and insurance costs.
Provides risk diversification including triggers, frequency, severity, and tail time for insurance captives.

Reputation risk is unpredictable.

Dutiful board members will paradoxically suffer personal reputational harm if aggrieved stakeholders feel betrayed. The trigger will likely be linked to shifts in a firm’s or director’s ESG posture, which has become a political minefield. Directors are exposed, and their losses are not covered by D&O liability insurance.

Our parametric insurance doesn’t just protect, it promotes.

Put simply, your stakeholders and the public at large do not want to know that your company is prepared for crises. They want to know that you’re actively trying to preclude them. They want to know that you have effective thoughtful risk management and dutiful governance—quality enterprise risk management.

The role of insurance as a signal of quality was conceptually formalized in 1973 with a Nobel Prize in Economics going to Michael Spence in 2001. How insurance preserves trust and prevents stakeholder panic was conceptually formalized in 1983 with that prize going to Douglas Diamond and Philip Dybvig in 2022.
