Global War and Terrorism
The 21st Century is characterised by an unprecedented interconnectivity of nations, people and information: Globalisation. With the economic and social
benefits that flow from this process also come significant changes and threats to our security. Political instability and radicalism, once understood
as confined to historically volatile regions of the world now directly impacts our lives at home. For companies and organisations operating on a global
scale, the management of political and security risks poses substantial and complex challenges. Faced with these demands, a company’s prime focus is
on their key asset: their workforce. Finding an all-encompassing insurance solution delivering Death and Disability cover for a multinational workforce
in high-risk territories compounds their challenge. Many Insurers have traditionally been reluctant to provide cover that addresses these needs. SCR’s
Accident and Health Team have devised a tailor-made insurance product, offering multinational companies and organisations an over-arching cover exclusively for their civilian personnel.
Our product is described as a specialist Malicious Acts Insurance Cover: it originates in our extensive experience in placing insurance for
various international organisations, whose history is of operating in the high-risk areas of the world. This specialist Malicious Acts Insurance
Cover is available on a world-wide basis, with no territorial exclusions, and compensates the Assured for Death and Disability related losses arising from:
War
Terrorism
Rebellion, Revolution and Riots
Sabotage and Explosion of War Weapons
Murder or Assault
The Cover includes standard Personal Accident insurance and can be extended to Nuclear, Chemical and Biological War and Terrorism incidents. In addition,
it can be combined with Emergency Medical Expenses, Evacuation and Repatriation cover. The flexibility of this product allows for bespoke solutions according
to the needs of each individual client in coordination with their existing insurance programmes. Cover can be arranged for expatriates and third country
nationals as well as locally recruited staff. Sums insured per person are available up to a maximum of 10 times the individual’s annual salary. Substantial
accumulation limits can be provided. Our team is one of the largest of its kind in the London market and our substantial expertise and experience opens all
major London and international insurers to us.
This combination of experience and scale means we understand the individual challenges facing organisations and know how to create precision risk solutions.

Group Life Assurance
Term Life Assurance is designed to indemnify the beneficiary in the case of death of an Insured Person resulting from an accident and/or from natural causes.
Policies are arranged for employer groups, associations, sports teams or specific groups such as expatriate employees or executive management.
The sum assured is either a stated monetary amount or a multiple of salary. Typical limits on a group scheme would be five times annual salary per person, but higher limits can be secured, subject to financial justification.
Cover can be arranged on a standalone basis or in conjunction with Personal Accident and Sickness benefits such as Permanent and/or Temporary Total Disablement and/or Medical Expenses.

Keyman Cover
Key individuals are those employees essential to the success of Company operations, including completion of designated projects,
contracts or management buy-outs. Keyman Insurance is a composite cover which protects the purchasing Company against financial
losses arising from the loss of the services of key individuals connected with the Company, due to death or disablement from accident or illness.
The Company can use the insurance proceeds for expenses until they find a replacement person or, if necessary, pay off debts, distribute
money to investors or pay severance to employees. In a tragic situation, Keyman Insurance gives the company alternatives.
The components of the cover include Death from Any Cause and Permanent Total Disablement as a result of Accident and/or Illness of named individuals.
The importance of key individuals means that the sums insured required may be far greater than the amounts purchased as part of a standard employee benefit programme. Usually, sums insured reflect the contract value or the Company’s exposed value.
Cover is usually subject to receipt of a satisfactory proposal/medical form. Additionally, various medical tests can be required
depending on age and sum assured. A justification of the sums assured is also necessary.
All information is handled on a strictly confidential basis.

Sports
Professional sports have become very big business nowadays with substantial revenues generated from television rights, merchandising and gate receipts.
The cost of enticing the best sports professionals has increased dramatically. The salary packages required to maintain the top performers are often the
largest expense a team faces. Each player represents a substantial investment: his or her unavailability, temporary or long-term, a commensurately grave financial loss.
It is imperative, therefore, to protect these players, as an injury can turn a key asset into a very expensive spectator.
The Accident and Health team specialises in designing and placing policies for top sports clubs, including leading soccer, basketball, golf, rugby,
cycling, volleyball and motor-racing teams. The risk transfer through insurance is mainly provided to Sporting National Federations (national squads),
leading sports teams, individual players, sponsors and third party investors.
The increasing number of chronic and acute injuries due to increasingly intensive sporting schedules and more competitive sporting activities compel clubs and sporting institutions to scrutinise the management of their key risk, their players.
More preventative work is being conducted by physiotherapists, doctors and training personnel in order to reduce the risk of injury before the event.
There is sharpening focus on appropriate medical treatment and rehabilitation for injuries and illnesses. In combination with the above, SCR provides
specialist sports protection solutions. These range from risk transfer capabilities, reducing exposure – to risk prevention and injury response services.
We constantly examine possible innovations in this ever-changing field.
The benefits that can be insured are:
Death of an individual by natural causes and/or as the result of an accident.
Permanent Total Disablement of an individual due to an accident or sickness which entirely prevents that individual from attending their usual occupation.
This protects the Asset Value of the individual which can be either represented by their market value or by their estimated projected earnings.
Cover for the Temporary Total Disablement of an individual due to an accident or sickness which prevents that individual from attending their usual
occupation for a period of time. Financial protection to the club or team is provided by reimbursing the salary paid to a team member while they are
unable to attend to their duties. There is a time deductible (usually between 30 and 60 days per event) and an indemnity period of 12 months
(including the deductible); the sum insured usually equals to the annual salary of the individual.
A special policy can also be arranged to cover the accumulation risk of a team travelling together - for instance, on the same aircraft. This is usually arranged due to the high cumulative sums involved.
These policies can be written separately or as part of a comprehensive programme, as they are designed to cover the different financial interests the club or team
has in its members. As the money involved in sports rises, so does the potential financial loss to the sports teams and clubs as a result of injury or illness within the team.

IGOs / NGOs
Intergovernmental and Non Governmental Organisations face many challenges in an increasingly unpredictable world. Activities
range from providing local resources on projects assisting countries recovering from war or natural disaster, to helping countries
developing trade and service economies. These varied activities lead to a diverse multi-cultural workforce, spread across the globe.
Workforces are the key asset in the operation of these organisations. They often fall outside local social security systems, due to the
special privileges and immunities afforded to these organisations. Provision must therefore be made by employers for income protection and
dependant’s support should their staff be injured or become ill as a result of performing their official duties.
Our team have over fifty years’ experience arranging Injury and Illness insurance for such organisations. Working with insurers and our
specialist Liability Wordings Team we have developed policy wordings which meet the specific needs of international organisations,
reflecting their contractual obligations to staff under the specific forms of contract used. One such wording is an Injury and Illness
compensation insurance, which follows the contractual obligations of staff compensation plans and meets awards made within the terms of these plans.
More and more organisations whose work is predominantly project-based are employing greater numbers of short-term staff and consultants.
We can arrange Injury and Illness insurance, paying a predefined capital sum benefit in the event of a claim and which can be tailored to specific requirements.
In recent years there has been a noticeable increase in terrorist attacks, threatening areas and groups which were not previously seen as targets.
Intergovernmental and Nongovernmental organisations have staff in many parts of the world where there is war and unrest, as well as large accumulations
of staff in headquarter locations in major cities, which have become more frequent targets for terrorists. Injury and illness insurance against malicious
acts including acts of terrorism can be arranged by the SCR Accident and Health Team.
