Why should your company use our services?
 EDJ is the problem solver, and concern eliminator. The seemingly fascinating opportunities overseas do not necessarily turn into benefits for US companies. Experience shows that it takes more time, money and resources if companies go globally by themselves. Culture differences, regulatory and infrastructure hurdles, and people issues are just a few of the many problems US companies will encounter in their endeavors of entering the overseas market.

What does  "political risk insurance" cover?

Political risk insurance protects U.S. companies against 1) currency inconvertibility — inability to convert profits, debt service and other returns from local currency into U.S. dollars and transfer those dollars out of the host country; 2) expropriation — loss of an investment due to expropriation, nationalization or confiscation by a foreign government; and 3) political violence — loss of assets or income due to war, revolution, insurrection or politically motivated civil strife, terrorism or sabotage. Coverage is available for equity investments in new ventures or expansions or modernizations of existing enterprises, parent company and third party loans and loan guaranties, technical assistance agreements, cross-border leases and other forms of investment exposure. The policy also insures contractors, exporters and financial institutions.


To be eligible for insurance, investors must submit a Request for Registration for Political Risk Insurance form before making an irrevocable commitment to a project. To obtain coverage, companies must pay insurance premiums based on market value.
