Berkley Re™ & Berkley Risk™

Supporting Trade, Investment and Projects Across Africa

Berkley Re and Berkley Risk are South African advisory firms that help companies and investors manage complex risks when operating across African markets. We work with organisations involved in infrastructure, mining, energy, industrial development and cross-border trade to structure risk strategies that support investment decisions, project financing and long-term operations.

Canada is one of the world’s leading hubs for mining and project investment, and we frequently support risk structures for resource, infrastructure and industrial projects across Africa. Based in South Africa, our team combines deep regional market knowledge with access to international insurance and reinsurance markets, enabling projects and businesses operating in Africa to access specialist risk capacity from global markets.

How We Support Businesses Operating in Africa

We help organisations:

  • Structure risk programmes for major projects and investments
  • Secure international risk capacity for complex operations
  • Align risk structures with project finance and contractual requirements
  • Navigate African insurance markets and regulatory frameworks
  • Support operational resilience across multiple jurisdictions

Our focus is on ensuring that projects and operations are bankable, insurable and commercially sustainable.

  • Mining and natural resources

Global Market Access

Through Berkley Re, we connect African projects and businesses with international insurance and reinsurance markets, including Lloyd’s and other global risk carriers. This allows large and technically complex risks to access the specialist capacity required to support major projects and long-term investments.
