As a rule, outward investment indicates complicated and time consuming projects, during which investors are exposed to risks quite different from the risks inherent in the domestic market.

These risks are a sign of force majeure and are not under control of the investor; nevertheless they can severely jeopardize the existence and performance of the investment (war, civil unrest, natural catastrophes, expropriation, conversion restrictions etc.).

Insurance policy usually covers a "package" of risks, with an option of custom-made choice of insurance coverage with regard to type of risks as well as coverage level of each risk. This is a 90% coverage, where 10% stands for own share of the investor (meaning that the policy holder to assumes the risk amounting to 10% of sum insured).

Sum insured is the amount of investment the investor wants insured. Investor can include in insurance just a portion of investment, as a current sum insured. The portion of investment not included in the first period of insurance, or for including future undistributed profits, can be included in the insurance in the form of reserved sum insured, for which the policy holder pays only a portion of premium charged for the current sum insured.

Insurance of non-shareholder's loanWhen issuing a non-shareholder's loan, SID Bank insures funds/loan granted by a financial institution to the investment insurance company with a majority ownership share of a Slovene investor.
