AFSL Professional Indemity

Since the completion of the Financial Services Royal Commission, ASIC has been focussed on prosecuting rather than negotiating, and now more than ever clients are willing to ask more questions. It is important to partner with a trusted advisor who understands this space and has strong relationships with the limited pool of insurers who can provide the right policies. 

As per the ASIC RG126 Regulatory Guide, a PI insurance policy must have a limit of at least $2 million for any one claim and all in the aggregate for licensees with total revenue from financial services provided to retail clients of $2m or less. For licensees with total revenue from financial services provided to retail clients greater than $2m, minimum cover should be approximately equal to actual or expected revenue from financial services provided to retail clients.

Professional Indemnity Insurance helps financial services providers and businesses cover the cost of compensation claims and legal action should a client sue your business for negligence.

We ask the right questions, ensuring that you will have all the cover in place that you need, should you ever need to make a claim. It is important to make sure that when sourcing a PI policy, your business description is accurate and details of all the activities carried out by the company are disclosed to insurers. Remember, if any of your details are incorrect or not accurate, insurers can withhold the right to pay out on a claim.

As an investment manager, you are exposed to rigorous litigation claims for any financial loss arising out of the professional services and guidance you provide to your clients. 

That’s why you need a robust Investment Managers Insurance policy to protect you against risk exposures in relation to the raising of and management of funds from investors.

Whether you are an equities fund, PE/VC Fund, mortgage fund, property development or agricultural fund; an Investment Managers Insurance (IMI) policy can provide valuable coverage for the various exposures you face. Furthermore, in Australia, if your fund engages with retail investors (as defined by the Corporations Act 2001), the entity needs to hold a Professional Indemnity policy which complies with RG126 requirements.
