BPL launches Funded Solutions Team

BPL Global , the independent credit and political risk insurance broker, has launched a Funded Solutions team to offer new insurance-linked capital and credit management strategies to banks, insurers, asset managers, and investors. The offering includes cash-collateralized, insured risk-participation transactions and repackagings designed to help risk sellers manage capital and credit lines more efficiently while giving risk buyers access to low-risk, enhanced-yield assets.

The move comes as the CPRI market has grown significantly, with BPL’s insured book now exceeding $100 billion. The new unit aims to extend credit-insurance-backed structures beyond banks to institutional investors, enabling them to use insured assets similarly to bank participants.

The team is led by newly appointed directors George Biddulph and Harriet Rowland Clark, alongside BPL’s Significant Risk Transfer and reinsurance specialists.

“While we have been picking up on the demand for a while, we believe our Funded Solutions offering to be unique on the broking side in terms of the level of expertise we now have. It positions both existing and prospective clients to capitalise on the type of innovation in our market that has led to its impressive growth in recent years.” – Charlie Radcliffe, Chief Commercial Officer, BPL.
