Private Equity & Venture Capital

PE & Venture Capital

Private equity and venture capital firms operate in a highly regulated environment where decisions carry significant financial and reputational risk. Beyond fund-level exposures, firms face risks through portfolio involvement and transaction activity. We support our clients to protect their business and investments throughout the lifecycle of their funds.

Insurance broking

Expertise for complex investment and transaction risk

For private equity and venture capital firms, the most significant insurable risk is liability for actual or alleged professional negligence. Claims can arise from mandate breaches, regulatory investigations, valuation, due diligence issues, board roles or investor litigation.

Transactional risks run throughout the deal lifecycle. Acquisitions are fast and competitive, while exits must maximise value and limit residual liability.

Our specialist teams, advise clients across a range of insurable risks including

Employee benefits

Supporting your people

Private equity and venture capital 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.
