The Pacific is known for friendly smiles and warm welcomes, but it also presents a complex country-specific risk profile that is not well understood. Accompanying the traditional business risk profile associated with many developed countries e.g. fire, burglary and accident, each specific Pacific nation presents a unique natural catastrophe risk profile (cyclone, tsunami, earthquake and flood) that influences risk and insurance strategies and outcomes.

The Pacific is known for friendly smiles and warm welcomes, but it also presents a complex country-specific risk profile that is not well understood. Accompanying the traditional business risk profile associated with many developed countries e.g. fire, burglary and accident, each specific Pacific nation presents a unique natural catastrophe risk profile (cyclone, tsunami, earthquake and flood) that influences risk and insurance strategies and outcomes.

Add to this profile a developing understanding of the risks inherent in the public liability and professional risk space and you will find that despite an outward laisse-faire appearance, there is a complexity to the management of liability risk as well.

The social, economic and regulatory framework of each Pacific nation differs considerably requiring providers and purchasers of risk and insurance product to have a clear understanding of the specific island territory and the compliance challenges it imposes. Our team has years of direct experience in the design, placement and management of risk and insurance programs for businesses and organisations, ranging from large commercial or Government-related entities down to smaller resorts and businesses. We have access to secure insurance markets for cover that reflects the Pacific risk profile and we are able to implement insurance and risk management strategies that are fully compliant with the relevant in-country regulations.

We have strong network partner relationships throughout the Pacific region which allow us to operate in almost all Pacific territories.

We have developed risk and insurance programs that provide relevant cover for individuals and all business or government entities who are exposed to Pacific risk. Our experience ensures that the advices and services are best suited for your own situations and local environment. We have strong relationships with key underwriters throughout the Pacific region and when appropriate we access the global insurance markets to augment the local insurance market response or to fill gaps in their product offering. Our continuous focus is to work with you to identify, manage and protect you from loss arising from risk and we have the skills and experience to deliver on this focus.

Political Violence Market Update 2026

A softening market for Political Violence (PV) Insurance is a welcome sign for buyers, following a prolonged hard period. An influx of approximately £350m of new capacity via Lloyd’s syndicates and specialist underwriting agencies is driving competition, enabling brokers to market accounts more widely and deliver premium savings to clients.

But it's not all straightforward. While the years prior to 2022 saw a high volume of claims relating to civil unrest, the market has since been dominated by larger-scale incidents of political violence – forcing insurers to adapt their strategies. For buyers, this introduces complexity: S&T policies are now unlikely to offer indemnity against some of the most common threats of the last three-to-five years. This being the case, more buyers may gravitate towards the broader scope of Political Violence cover.A softening market for Political Violence (PV) Insurance is a welcome sign for buyers, following a prolonged hard period.
