Private equity firms, corporations and strategic investors increasingly sought out transactional risk insurance last year to reduce deal risk, according to a new report by Marsh.
The report, Transactional risk insurance 2021: Year in review, found that the transactional risk insurance limits placed globally by Marsh Specialty in 2021 totaled $81.1 billion, a 73% increase over 2020. These limits were spread across 3,000 policies and 1,900 transactions, a 69% spike from the previous year.
