Political Violence & Terrorism

Ascot was one of the first markets to establish this class of business in November 2001.

Since then, we have led the market with solution-driven underwriting, winning a reputation for service and reliability. Since 2001, standalone terrorism coverage has changed significantly, and Ascot has remained at the forefront with aggregation systems and client-focused products helping us to lead the market.

Our products include:

Terrorism: We offer full Physical Loss or Damage wordings. We are also experienced in drafting bespoke wordings for every type of risk, from buildings to event cancellation, and from footballers to iconic global buildings
Strikes, Riot, Civil Commotion: Ascot looks at the full range of “social” peril risks that could affect a client’s assets. Our legal and technical knowledge gives us the ability to tailor these policies to your needs
War on Land: Our global reach has been essential in meeting the changing needs of clients due to war, especially in the extractive resources sector and across emerging markets
Political Risk: We can offer bespoke solutions for a full range of political perils, ranging from Confiscation to Contract Frustration
