As an investment manager, it is important to understand the risks that come with managing assets.
IMI is a suite of insurance covers that are specifically designed to protect financial services licensees and their employees & Directors against potential legal and financial risks. This type of insurance policy offers comprehensive coverage to help investment managers safeguard their business and assets.
There are three main sections that make up an IMI policy: Directors’ and Officers’ Liability (D&O), Professional Indemnity (PI), and Crime.
Directors’ and Officers’ Liability (D&O) coverage is essential for any investment manager. This coverage protects the personal assets of the company’s directors and officers in the event of a claim alleging wrongful conduct, such as a breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and defamation.
Professional Indemnity (PI) coverage is also an important part of an IMI policy. This coverage protects investment managers against claims of professional negligence or misconduct, such as errors and omissions, which result in financial losses for their clients. In the event of such a claim, PI coverage can help to cover the cost of legal fees and any settlements or damages that may be awarded.
