Full Coverage Vs. Liability Car Insurance for Mexico

If you’re driving to Mexico, you may want to envision pristine coastlines, epic Mayan ruins or lush rain forests along the way. What you shouldn’t have to do is worry about your car insurance coverage. To protect yourself financially and legally, get some answers and make some decisions before heading south. Specifically, what car insurance is needed for Mexico? What’s liability coverage? What is comprehensive car insurance? And which policy would work best for you? What Car Insurance Is Needed for Mexico? If you’re driving on a federal Mexican highway or bridge, you need, at a minimum, a civil liability insurance policy. That’s the law. Moreover, your existing American or Canadian policy won’t suffice. If a law enforcement officer were to stop you and discover that you lack proof of liability insurance — even if you weren’t involved in an accident — you could face a fine. Liability. Liability insurance takes care of costs stemming from injuries to third parties due to an at-fault auto accident. A third party includes pedestrians, other motorists and their passengers. Liability insurance excludes coverage to the at-fault vehicle, driver and passengers.

Builders Risk Insurance Vs. Liability Coverage: How Each Benefit Works

Article | December 19, 2022

For construction contractors, there is nothing more important than safeguarding your works in progress. After all, if something were to damage the property and interrupt your progress, then you might face a huge financial setback. At this point, it’s critical that you have builder’s risk insurance ready and waiting. Your policy will be there to assist you following property damage at construction sites. However, your builder’s risk policy will not offer the same coverage to injuries or property damage that you cause to other parties. In this case, separate liability insurance benefits will provide the necessary benefits. Though separate from your builder’s risk policy, liability coverage is equally important. Let’s take a closer look at how these benefits work.

The Age of Sustainable Fixed-Income Investing Has Arrived

Article | July 14, 2022

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations have increasingly entered the mainstream of investment discussions, both through routine incorporation into traditional investment processes and through distinct sustainable or impact investing styles. Recent and current global conditions, such as extreme weather events, the inequitable effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, rising distrust of government institutions, and geopolitical challenges to a rules-based world order, have accelerated this trend, emphasizing the direct relevance of ESG and sustainability to understanding long-term market risks and opportunities. Until recently, equity investors were more concerned with ESG and sustainability than their fixed-income counterparts. That is, however, beginning to change, and at a rapid pace. ESG and sustainability have gained significant traction among bond investors, particularly since the implementation of COVID-19, and are now widely regarded as essential components of fixed income investing. For example, global sustainable debt issuance reached a new high of over US$1.6 trillion in 2021 and is expected to rise further in the coming years. Notably, we believe that ESG integration and sustainable fixed-income investing require a very deliberate, thoughtful approach — one that varies significantly from one fixed-income sector to the next. ESG and sustainability: At a high level, researchers believe that increased awareness of ESG and sustainability benefits global markets in two ways: 1. ESG integration allows market participants to think more holistically about the types of financially material risks and opportunities — such as physical, reputational, and (geo)political — that should ideally be reflected in asset valuations and taken into account during the routine portfolio construction and management process. 2. Furthermore, the conversation about sustainable investing is encouraging more market participants to look beyond narrow, issuer-specific investment thesis to consider how market participants' behaviors affect the broader systems and structures (e.g., climate stability, institutional strength) whose long-term viability is critical for the long-term health of economies and markets. We, like many others, believe that a stable global climate, clean air and water for all, adherence to the rule of law, strong institutions with broad public legitimacy, and broad-based access to economic opportunity are valuable public goods from which market participants would benefit collectively over time. As a result, a central goal of sustainable investing is to assist markets in evolving toward rewarding participants for exercising responsible stewardship of these public goods, which are critical to pursuing favorable long-term outcomes for the real people who are the ultimate beneficiaries of markets. This framing of sustainability highlights why fixed income is so important in moving global markets and economies in a more sustainable direction.
