Our latest News and Insights
Financial Institutions FAQs
What is classed as a financial institution?
The umbrella term financial institutions encompasses a wide range of organisations within the broader financial services market. From asset managers to private equity and venture capital firms, from banks and insurance companies to aircraft leasing firms, these are typically businesses involved in managing, protecting and growing assets. The financial institutions sector includes entities providing investment management, financial planning, banking, insurance, real estate advisory, and innovative financial technology solutions. It serves individuals, families, corporations, and institutions, offering services like wealth management, asset allocation, capital investment, compliance, risk management, and financial transactions. Firms in the financial institutions sector play a critical role in facilitating capital flows, ensuring financial security and driving economic growth across global markets.
What insurance should I be considering as a financial institution?
When it comes to your financial institution’s insurance programme, we tailor your coverage to ensure it addresses your unique risk profile and align with your goals and aspirations. No two financial institutions are alike. We partner with a wide range of organisations within the financial institutions industry to ensure we fully understand the current and emerging risks they face. We then devise a programme that specifically manages these exposures. Coverages to consider might include:
Directors & Officers
Professional Indemnity
Crime
Cyber
Investment Management Insurance
Property & Casualty
Employment Practices Liability
Transactional Risk
Employee Benefits
Do I need specialist insurance as a financial institution?
The unique and complex combination of risks that organisations in the sector face, makes specialist insurance a must for financial institutions. Whether you’re a bank, an asset manager, an insurance company, an investment fund, a securities broker-dealer, or a financial adviser, you’ll need a range of specialist insurance solutions to protect your assets and your people. Depending on your firm’s risk tolerance, the decision to transfer or retain such risks may vary. The need for specialist insurance can also be driven by regulatory requirements or demands from customers, board members, and vendors. A comprehensive insurance programme for a financial institution will often combine many different lines of cover.
What are the most common risks for financial institutions?
Although the likelihood and impact of particular risks materialising can vary between financial institutions, there are ten significant risk categories that broadly apply to most firms in the financial services sector:
Cybersecurity threats
Regulatory compliance
Disruptive technologies
Data privacy and protection
Economic volatility (market, liquidity, and credit risk)
Operational risk (fraud, system failures, human error)
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
Geopolitical risks
Business interruption
Human capital, diversity, and talent management risks
Why is Directors and Officers (D&O) liability insurance important for financial institutions?
D&O insurance protects individuals from personal losses resulting from legal actions taken against them in their capacity as company directors or officers, while also offering balance sheet protection for the organisation. For financial institutions, a D&O policy can extend cover to key areas of particular concern in the boardroom. In the financial sector, where fiduciary responsibilities are substantial, executives may face lawsuits from shareholders, regulatory bodies, or other stakeholders. D&O insurance helps attract and retain top talent by providing a layer of protection, allowing qualified individuals to take on leadership roles without the fear of personal liability. It also supports the stability and continuity of financial institutions by offering a financial safety net for key decision-makers.
