High value items insurance is a type of coverage that provides financial protection for personal possessions with significant monetary value, which may not be fully covered under standard insurance policies. It is designed to protect against risks such as loss, theft, or damage, offering specialized terms that reflect the true value of the insured items.
The primary coverage types for high value items insurance include jewelry, fine art, collectibles, luxury watches, and others. Jewelry covers valuable personal items such as rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets made from precious metals and gemstones. These insurance products are distributed through direct sales, brokers or agents, online platforms, and other channels, serving end-users such as individuals and businesses.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the financial sector, particularly in investment strategies and risk management. Heightened tariffs have fueled market volatility, prompting cautious behavior among institutional investors and increasing demand for hedging instruments. Banks and asset managers are facing higher costs associated with cross-border transactions, as tariffs disrupt global supply chains and dampen corporate earnings, key drivers of equity market performance. Insurance companies, meanwhile, are grappling with increased claims risks tied to supply chain disruptions and trade-related business losses. Additionally, reduced consumer spending and weakened export demand are constraining credit growth and investment appetite. The sector must now prioritize diversification, digital transformation, and robust scenario planning to navigate the heightened economic uncertainty and protect profitability.
