Terrorism Insurance coverage for investment properties
Terrorism, and politically and ideologically-motivated violence has become more commonplace over the past two decades, leading insurance carriers to list these acts as exclusions on most property policies.

We believe this coverage is so important that it is included on all eligible properties unless it is declined by the client.

Comparing NREIG’s Terrorism and Political Violence coverage and TRIA
After 9/11 caused $45 billion in insurance losses, many insurers sought to exclude terrorism from standard commercial policies. As a result, Congress passed the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 (TRIA) to provide a “backstop” for insurers (with federal loss-sharing) in the event of a major terrorist act. Among other provisions, TRIA required insurers to make terrorism coverage available to their policyholders, while also outlining the requirements by which an act of terrorism would trigger coverage under TRIA. Our standalone terrorism policy differs from TRIA in a number of ways:
TRIA |
NREIG Terrorism & Political Violence |
|
|---|---|---|
| Event must be certified as an act of terrorism by the US Secretary of the Treasury | Yes, there is no coverage for noncertified acts | Not required |
| Act must cause more than $5,000,000 in damage (as determined by the Treasury) | Yes, no coverage is afforded unless this threshold is met | Not required |
| Premium determination | Based on a percentage of your property premium | Fixed cost per location |
