Credit Enhancement & Risk Solutions
Risk structured to support the transaction.
Cross-border transactions can become constrained by counterparty credit, country exposure, sovereign risk or institutional limits even where the underlying commercial proposition remains viable.
Brockport structures credit insurance, political-risk protection, guarantees and other credit-enhancement solutions to address defined risks and support international trade and financing.

Bank or financial-institution exposure is constrained.
Country conditions limit appetite.
A lender requires credit enhancement.
Sovereign or public-sector exposure requires mitigation.
A recurring portfolio requires structured protection.
Our role
Identify the exposure. Structure the risk solution.

Petroleum trade risk programme
Brockport worked with an international petroleum trader and an institutional credit insurer to structure and manage transaction-specific non-payment protection across multiple petroleum trades and issuing-bank exposures. The programme supported more than US$240m of completed underlying trade.

International petroleum trader
Underlying trade exposure
Brockport
Institutional credit insurer
The US$240m+ figure represents completed underlying petroleum trade supported by the risk programme. Brockport structured and managed the credit-risk solution. The client’s pre-shipment financing was provided through its own financing relationships and was not arranged by Brockport.
Credit enhancement
Risk mitigation can change what becomes financeable.
A financing institution may have liquidity but be unable to assume the underlying country, borrower, bank or counterparty exposure within its own limits. Appropriate credit enhancement can redistribute defined risk to institutions better positioned to assume it.
Institutional experience
Institutional experience. Commercial perspective.
Brockport’s leadership brings prior experience from within a multilateral export credit and investment insurance institution, including origination, underwriting and management of commercial, political, sovereign and financial-institution risk.
Recurring programmes
Structured once, used repeatedly.
Where exposure recurs, protection is structured as a programme so that individual transactions and bank exposures can be considered within a broader institutional risk relationship.
Who we work with
Companies and institutions carrying cross-border credit exposure.
Exporters, manufacturers, commodity and trading companies, international corporates, banks and financial institutions, and selected public-sector entities.
Alongside credit insurers, ECAs, multilaterals, DFIs, commercial banks, guarantee providers and specialist risk institutions.

Discuss a risk requirement
Is risk preventing the transaction from proceeding?
If counterparty, bank, sovereign or country exposure is preventing a transaction from proceeding on acceptable terms, Brockport can assess solutions including credit insurance, non-payment protection, political risk insurance, bank-risk cover and other forms of institutional credit enhancement.
