As one of the nations leading insurance brokerage's addressing the complex insurance needs of Hedge Fund Managers, its really important for emerging hedge fund managers to understand the various forms of protection that exist in the marketplace and to know when its the right time to pursue such products and ultimately transfer the risk.

There are a number of factors to consider in order to justify the costly purchase of Fidelity Crime coverage, Key Man Life or D&O Insurance:

  • Make-up of Investor Base;
  • Total Assets Under Management;
  • Growth Objectives;
  • Infrastructure; &
  • Investment Strategy;

Typical questions we receive from Hedge Fund Managers are:

  • What protection are we getting?;
  • How much coverage do we need?;
  • Why should we purchase this?;
  • Who pays the premium?;
  • Why do investors want us to carry insurance?; &
  • Many more!

If you are newer manager just having crossed the $100mm mark or even a more established manager who is contemplating D&O, Crime or Key Man Insurance for the 1st time, contact us today for a free consultation.
