Overview

Investment managers work in an increasingly challenging regulatory environment. They may be exposed to allegations regarding wrongful acts, and other civil liabilities. As a result, this represents high risk of personal litigation and unlimited financial liability when decisions are made.

With potential penalties that range from hefty fines to disqualification, and possible imprisonment, the need for an immediate and effective response to any threat is clear. AIG offers insurance solutions for Financial Institution Professional Indemnity, Director and Officer, and Crime insurance coverage.
