Finite Risk Insurance Programmes

Guardrisk’s finite risk loss programme allows companies to budget for such losses and enhance cash flow.

In a volatile insurance market, organizations may find the market imposing high deductible structures or withdrawing cover completely; leaving the organization facing unbudgeted expenses should losses occur. Guardrisk’s finite risk loss programme allows companies to budget for such losses and enhance cash flow by combining risk retention and risk financing over a given period.

Also known as “spread loss”, the Finite Risk programme matches the organization’s liabilities against assets over an appropriate period of time. Finite Risk insurance programmes can stabilize cash flow, increase insurance cover and reward companies for good risk management.

 

Typical business risk exposures that can be covered by a Finite Risk insurance programme are:

  • Deductible layers on asset or liability programmes
  • Environmental clean-up
  • Credit risks
  • Product recall / contamination
