About the Texel Group:
The Texel Group is a leading specialist credit and political risk insurance broker with clients that include first-tier global investment banks, development finance institutions, commodity traders and corporates and we have offices in London, Brussels, Singapore, New York and Los Angeles.
Credit (or “non-payment”) insurance is purchased by banks, corporates and traders looking to cover the risk of a counterparty failing to make payment under a loan or other type of credit exposure. The main drivers for such cover include regulatory capital relief, balance sheet optimisation and risk mitigation.
While the credit insurance market has been well-established over the last 20 years, more structured and creative applications of non-payment insurance are being developed in response to changing regulation and to meet the evolving needs of clients from new sectors, including asset managers and investment funds. Such applications include the use of credit insurance in synthetic securitisations, asset repack structures and other structured credit transactions which combine existing or new elements from the structured finance and credit insurance sectors.
The Texel Group is a high-achieving Lloyd’s broker, and takes its corporate social responsibility seriously, including its work through the Texel Foundation. Since 2015 the Texel Foundation has joined forces with charities and social enterprises across 21 countries and supported more than 90 causes. Texel’s unique culture is collaborative, supportive, and sociable. Texel is committed to creating a diverse environment and values a culture of inclusion for all our employees where their individual strengths, thoughts and experiences can be shared. Our differences enable us to be a better team - one where we work more collaboratively.
