London, 14 July, 2011 – Marsh, the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor, has been named ‘Best Trade Credit and Political Risk Insurance Broker’ by Trade & Forfaiting Review magazine. This is the second consecutive year Marsh has been placed first in the magazine’s annual reader poll, which honours the best firms in the trade banking and finance sector globally.
Commenting on the win, Evan Freely, Global Leader of Marsh’s Political Risk and Structured Trade Credit Practice, said: “Political risk and structured trade credit insurance buyers have experienced challenging conditions over the past year due to widespread civil unrest and the knock-on effects of the global recession.
