Launching a hedge fund is no easy task. From drafting the formational documents to regulatory filings to selection of key and critical vendors, there is no shortage of things to do prior to launch. Add to that list evaluating the respective insurance needs of a start-up fund. Start-up firms must entertain insurance products which may be either required (either by state law, regulation or by contract) or lines of insurance coverage which are elective and may be meant for more established firms. The process of not only reviewing what each policy may or may not cover but also taking into consideration the cost effectiveness and feasibility in the early stages of the business can be daunting.
In order to make this process a bit smoother and add some value in the early phases of a launch, we have created an Insurance Needs for Hedge Funds Guide which can assist you in your efforts of addressing insurance needs in the start-up phase.
