Frequently asked questions

Why can't I use a generic insurance application?

Generic applications lack fields for fund-specific risks like AUM, custody arrangements, and SEC registration. This specialized application ensures underwriters have the data they need to assess fiduciary liability and comply with regulations like the Investment Company Act of 1940.

What coverage types are most relevant for funds and trusts?

Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance is crucial for protecting board members, while fidelity bonds are often required by regulators for investment companies. Errors & Omissions (E&O) and cyber liability are also important for funds handling third-party assets.

Is this application legally binding?

No, this is a draft application to help you gather information. It is not a policy and does not bind coverage. You should review it with a licensed insurance professional and the insurer's own forms before submission.
