Professional Indemnity Insurance
Professional Indemnity Insurance typically covers a wide range of risks including professional negligence, errors and omissions in professional work, and loss or damage to client documents.
If you provide investment or financial advice and your service fails to meet the expectations of a client, you or your business may be faced with a claim of negligence and you could be held liable for any financial loss.
Professional indemnity insurance is highly advised for any business or professional in the finance industry, and is mandatory for some financial professionals such as financial advisers and accountants
-
Directors & Officer's Insurance
Directors and Officer’s insurance covers a wide range of scenarios: from legal fees and damages awarded to claimants, through to the costs of legal representation throughout lengthy and expensive official investigations.
Claims where a director’s personal liability could be questioned may arise from investors or shareholders blaming the decisions of directors for their financial losses, or perhaps because of an investigation undertaken by regulators.
We understand that Financial Institutions must operate according to many stringent laws, rules and regulations which increase risks of potential litigation and consequent loss.
Increased focus from regulatory bodies (Bank of England, Prudential Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority) will require that you protect your key personnel against any legal action taken directly against them.

Warranties & Indemnities Insurance
Warranties and Indemnities insurance provides the insured seller or buyer with cover for losses suffered from warranty breaches and claims under the general tax indemnity under a sale and purchase agreement.
A key advantage of Warranties and Indemnities insurance for a seller is that it limits its liability and offers a “clean exit” from an investment. Buyers use it to make their bids more attractive to sellers and to protect the value of their investment once deals are done.

Public Offering of Securities Insurance (POSI)
Public Offering of Securities Insurance (POSI) protects a company and its directors against liabilities arising from offering the company’s securities for sale and listing on a public stock exchange.
Investors may claim the full value of their loss if the information in the prospectus is proved to be wrong, possibly years later.
A POSI policy offers bespoke cover for public offerings including initial public offerings and debt or equity rights issues. It specifically responds to the risks associated with the offering faced not only by directors, but also by the company and any controlling or selling shareholders.
