The financial crisis that unfolded in 2007 is still transforming what it means to operate in the financial sector. But beyond the constant static of scrutiny where all have an opinion, you still have funds to manage, trades to make, markets to analyse, opportunities to develop – plus risks to offset. That’s why it makes good sense to work with a specialist insurance broking partner, able to navigate a changing landscape and deliver tailored protection that’s fit for your future.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Registered Office: Spectrum Building, 7th Floor, 55, Blythswood Street, Glasgow, G2 7AT. Registered in Scotland. Company Number: SC108909.

The phrase ‘testing times’ doesn’t really do the situation justice. Subdued investor confidence, a stuttering economic outlook at home and continued currency crises abroad have combined with intense regulatory, political and media scrutiny, to make operating a financial business arguably as problematic as it has ever been in living memory. Uncertainty is further compounded by the market aftershocks of consolidation and contraction. Whether you’re a stockbroker, fund or asset manager, venture capitalist, private equity or foreign exchange specialist, you’ll know that few people – and fewer organisations – have remained untouched by financial distress.

Across a new financial landscape where transparency and responsibility are must-have credentials, the right insurance protection is the key to mitigating the risks you face and the security of your bottom line. Underwriters are taking a tougher stance at renewal time and are scrutinising your business more closely than ever, and that means a good insurance broker who fights your corner is more important than ever before. That’s why it pays to work with a specialist insurance broking partner with innovative service know-how and mature relationships with leading underwriters to support what you do and how you do it.

Our financial insurance solutions span the full spectrum of business and finance-specific applications. We’ll help you identify liabilities, quantify risk and mitigate losses across the following areas:

y Professional Indemnity: protecting you against claims for performance or failure to perform

y Directors and Officers Liability: protecting management teams against claims by shareholders, employers, competitors, government and more

y Crime: covering your organisation for dishonesty, fraud and other criminal losses
