Investment Industry

The Risk

The environment in which the Investment Industry operates is becoming increasingly hazardous. Complex regulatory regimes and the heightened focus on personal liability have resulted in an acute need for effective cover.

It is our experience that corporate and personal liability insurances are often inappropriately applied to the structures typical of the investment industry. Errors in policy construction can be catastrophic, if they lead to non-response of policies.

The Solution

Howden India works with the insurer to provide special­ist products for the protection of the liability of corpora­tions and individuals operating in the investment industry. We identify areas of weakness in traditional policies and provide solutions by either transferring risk, or assisting in prudential risk management to contain exposures.
