With increased levels of global uncertainty, M&A activities also face higher transactional risk. Transactional risk insurance includes representations and warranty (R&W) insurance, as well as warranty and indemnity (W&I), tax and contingent liability insurance. In 2019, approximately 97 percent of transactional risk insurance policies reported by Marsh JLT Specialty in the EMEA region were taken out by M&A buyers and three percent by sellers.
