Insuring Your Road to Successful Compliance
We have been talking with many Hedge Funds, individually and in group sessions, about the current litigious environment in the investment management space and the myriad insurance issues concerning SEC compliance. These discussions are fueled by knowledge from insurance carrier’s Financial Services’ underwriting and claims specialists, members of Jamison’s Financial Services Division and Insurance Litigation specialists.
It is important that fund managers understand the increased exposures brought about by SEC registration, stemming from both regulators and investors. With the recent unwinding of both newer and established investment management entities, you need to know how to protect your enterprise and key employees despite the actions of certain individuals. The registration of funds will create a dynamic, and even almost immediate change in the risk exposures faced; which include Professional Liability, D&O, and Management Liability issues. For many funds, insurance is taking on a more important role in their business operations, creating questions, concerns and even confusion.
We believe it is key that you have the right insight, and an inside look at the exposures, pricing, trends and claims scenarios facing funds in today’s economy.
