Continuing our international theme, Bryan and Gena kick off ITB’s 2023 season with Joshua Begner, Head of Private Equity and M&A Israel at WTW, for a primer on how transactional risk insurance can be utilized on deals in Israel. Topics discussed include:

• How Josh developed the first RWI brokerage shop based in Israel with WTW

• Why RWI is well positioned for Israel’s “start-up nation” mentality

• An explanation of the RWI policy structure in Israel and why the unique structure is the “best of both worlds” benefitting both insurers and insured

• How RWI policies are currently priced in Israel

• The foreign location where Josh thinks ITB should go “on the road” in a future international episode
