Benjamin Mugisha, chief underwriting officer at ATIDI argues that while political, sovereign and credit risks are real, investor perceptions and pricing can sometimes run ahead of underlying experience. He explains how political risk insurance and reinsurance can help turn those risks into investable opportunities and mobilise private capital. The episode also explores debt sustainability, financing for infrastructure and renewable energy projects, Africa’s changing financial architecture, and how geopolitical disruption is reshaping trade, investment and the continent’s push for greater economic self-sufficiency.

Introducing The Cyber Insurance Podcast. Scott Bailey, head of global cyber underwriting at CFC, discusses why SMEs could represent the biggest growth opportunity for the cyber market. With cyber insurance take-up still much lower among smaller businesses than large corporates, Bailey explores what insurers and brokers need to do to close the protection gap and better communicate the value of cover. The episode also looks at ransomware, softer market conditions, and CFC’s bold move to introduce clearer affirmative AI protection as businesses increasingly adopt AI tools and new risks emerge.

Mike O’Connor, co-founder and chief commercial officer at Crux Underwriting, joins for a conversation that is at turns insightful, deeply personal, strategic and technology focused. He explores why terrorism can act as a diversifier within a wider political violence portfolio, what that means for optimising capital and reinsurance, and how Crux, as an MGA in the political violence and terrorism insurance business, is using technology to change the way terrorism risks are distributed and underwritten. O’Connor also looks at how far specialty insurance can realistically be automated, and where Crux plans to take its innovative model next.
