Investment Managers

Investment managers operate in a highly regulated environment where professional error can quickly translate into third-party loss. Alongside complex liability exposures, firms also face intense competition for talent. We advise a wide range of investment firms, from traditional long-only equity to multi-strategy hedge fund managers, with expert-led insurance and a joined-up approach to employee benefits.

Expertise for professional liability and regulatory risk

For investment managers, the most significant insurable risk is liability for actual or alleged professional negligence.

Claims can arise from trade errors, mandate breaches such as holding ineligible assets or exceeding allocation limits, unsuitable or ineligible investors, regulatory investigations, or litigation brought by funds and investors. Liability claims are infrequent, but when they occur they are complex, disruptive and costly — with defence costs often forming a significant part of the exposure.

We advise investment managers across a range of insurable risks, including:

Employee benefits

Supporting your people

Investment management firms demand precision and tailored strategies for their clients. Yet their own employee benefits are all too often standardised, SME-focused solutions.

Even established firms with substantial teams often receive generic advice that fails to reflect their business model and compensation structures. The result is a mismatch between what’s offered and what’s required—leaving investment professionals under-supported, particularly around healthcare, life assurance linked to variable pay and retirement planning solutions that do not offer sophisticated investment options.
