RISK MANAGEMENT PRODUCT

Product Focus & Examples

Example – Utilising the Corporate Guarantee risk management structure in your business cycles

Traditionally businesses make use of conventional methods to manage their risks that they have generally considered uninsurable. For example, using retained earnings

The Corporate Guarantee Alternative Risk Transfer product, also known as the Contingency Policy, is an alternative to conventional insurance policies. We assist you in converting risks into sustainable wealth by making use of a risk management policy. Corporate Guarantee also provides a standard cover of 120% on all policies in catastrophic events. This risk management policy will offer long and short-term advantages that will give your business a second breath during the downside of your business cycle or in a catastrophic event.

By utilising a risk management policy, companies can purchase cover for their business. This cover will then be available to manage their specified risk as well as assist the company during periods where the business potentially experiences losses or difficult economic conditions. The risk management policy can thus smooth out the financial impact of unpredictable events and can assist companies to stabilise their business cycle.

Example – Combining Conventional Insurance with Corporate Guarantee

For illustrative purposes, let us say you are currently paying R50 000 per month for your conventional insurance, to cover R6 000 000 worth of risks in your business. You want to purchase a risk management policy with Corporate Guarantee to assist in managing some specific risk in the future. One way to structure this transition, is to increase your current excess payment and save the difference between your current premium and the new reduced premium by purchasing your risk management policy with Corporate Guarantee, as shown below:

Current Situation

Risk Covered R 6 000 000
Conventional Monthly Insurance Premium 1 R 50 000
Current Excess R 5 000

Corporate Guarantee Combination Alternative

Risk Covered R 6 000 000
Increase Excess to R 20 000
Conventional Monthly Insurance Premium 2 R 30 000
Monthly Saving on Conventional Insurance R 20 000

The annual savings from your conventional insurance premium reduction in the example will amount to R240 000. These savings can then be used to purchase risk management cover from Corporate Guarantee. This cover can then be allocated towards the increased excess payment as well as additional risk in your business. *This example is for illustrative purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
