London's Financial Times reported Friday, citing people familiar with the agreements, that Zurich insured Radiant World against non-payment by multiple counterparties, including commodity trader Glencore (GLEN.L, GLN.JO). Allianz's Allianz Trade unit also provided Radiant World insurance coverage against non-payment. Zurich told MT Newswires it "does not have any material exposure to Radiant World".
