Investment Management Insurance

Protecting Investment Managers and Their Clients

Investment managers operate in a complex and highly regulated environment, where the risks extend well beyond market fluctuations. From regulatory breaches to client claims and professional liability, the exposure is significant.

That’s where Investment Management Insurance comes in. At Clarke Lyons Insurance, we specialise in providing tailored cover for investment managers, fund managers, financial services firms, and asset management professionals.

​

What Is Investment Management Insurance?

Investment Management Insurance is a specialist form of protection designed for professionals who manage funds and investments on behalf of clients. It combines elements of:

​

  • Professional Indemnity Insurance – covering claims of negligence, errors, or omissions in professional advice or services.

  • Directors & Officers (D&O) Liability – protecting management and directors against claims of mismanagement, breach of duty, or regulatory investigation.

  • Crime and Fidelity Cover – safeguarding against internal or external fraud, employee dishonesty, and theft.

  • Regulatory Investigation Costs – covering legal and advisory expenses in responding to ASIC, AUSTRAC, or other regulator actions.

​

Why Do Investment Managers Need Specialist Cover?

Investment managers face a unique risk profile:

  • Regulatory scrutiny – Compliance with ASIC and APRA requirements can be costly if challenged.

  • Complex client relationships – A dissatisfied investor may pursue legal action even where performance loss was market-driven.

  • Operational risks – Internal controls and governance lapses can lead to significant financial loss.

  • Cyber and data threats – Investment firms are prime targets for cyberattacks and data breaches.

 

Without specialist cover, these risks could severely impact your business, reputation, and client confidence.
