Typical Investment Management Risks

Claims can involve alleged unsuitable investment decisions, portfolio losses, mandate breaches, missed instructions, reporting errors, documentation failures, regulatory complaints, confidentiality breaches, cyber fraud, data loss or client financial-loss allegations.

Professional Indemnity for Investment Managers

Professional indemnity can help where a client alleges your investment management services caused financial loss. Insurers will usually want to understand your declared activities, regulatory permissions, client types, assets under management, discretionary authority, contract terms, compliance controls, record keeping and previous claims history.

Client Money, Portfolios and Sensitive Data

Investment managers often work with sensitive financial records, portfolio data, suitability notes, investment mandates and confidential client correspondence. Tell insurers whether you hold client money, make discretionary decisions, manage funds, advise only, use external platforms or support institutional clients, because those details can affect insurer appetite and policy wording.
