Specialist Financial Institutions Insurance Cover
Helping regulated financial services businesses and their brokers secure non-standard financial institutions insurance cover.
CJ Coleman works with financial institutions, investment firms, lenders, fintech businesses, brokers and intermediaries on Financial Institutions Insurance placements that need careful presentation and specialist market access.

Our work supports placements where professional liability, management liability, regulatory scrutiny, cyber exposure, or crime and dishonesty risk may affect a regulated financial services business.
When
Financial Institutions Insurance
Financial Institutions Insurance is specialist cover for the risks associated with operating financial services. These include professional, management, regulatory, cyber, crime and fraud risks that often sit outside standard commercial insurance. It typically combines several covers in one placement: professional indemnity, directors and officers, crime and fidelity, cyber, and regulatory defence.
For many businesses, standard commercial insurance is not enough to address these overlapping exposures. In regulated or financially sensitive sectors, specialist cover is often required. CJ Coleman helps clients, brokers, and intermediaries facing novel or non-standard financial institution risk understand the context and technical detail required for specialist placement.

What does Financial Institutions Insurance cover?
Depending on wording and market appetite, Financial Institutions Insurance may support professional indemnity exposure, directors and officers liability, management liability, regulatory investigations, civil liability claims, crime or fraud risk, cyber exposure and defence costs.
Is Financial Institutions Insurance the same as Professional Indemnity Insurance?
Not exactly. Professional Indemnity usually relates to claims arising from professional advice or services.

Can Financial Institutions Insurance include Directors & Officers cover?
Yes. Financial Institutions Insurance placements often sit alongside or include directors and officers exposure for the same business, given the overlap between the two risks.
