Our organization characterizes itself by being highly involved and having a deep knowledge of our clients’ risk profile.

SwanAdvisory is managed by Otto Bekouw and Michel Frommé.

Getting a better grip on your operational risks and assessing if they have been appropriately mitigated is of vital importance. Traditional insurance brokers insufficiently fulfil this role and focus mainly on selling insurance. To ensure you get independent advice, Otto Bekouw and Michel Frommé, have founded SwanAdvisory. In essence, SwanAdvisory assists organizations in mapping insurable and uninsurable risks that have a material impact on business continuity. Subsequently we assess how these risks can best be mitigated. Preventative measures and optimizing the insurance portfolio play an important role in order to achieve this. You cannot look at your insurance portfolio in isolation, we strongly believe that this must be seen in the total perspective of an organizations risk profile. Only then you can take the right decisions about risk mitigation and how to optimize your risk budget.
