Insurance can be confusing,
but we’re here to help.

Errors and Omissions Insurance covers certain legal fees, judgments and settlements that you may face as a result of claims and litigation brought against you based on the advice or services you have provided.

Unfortunately, today’s society is very litigious. Despite your relationships with clientele or how careful you are in your role, you simply never know and it pays to be covered.

Our E&O policy contains a broad definition of Professional Services, including services and advice as a Financial Advisor, Financial Planner, Registered Investment Advisor, Registered Representative and Life Insurance Agent. Coverage is provided for services rendered for advice given to a client or customer by you for a fee, remuneration, or other consideration as it relates to a written agreement between you and your client. The policy extends coverage to services performed in the capacity of a fiduciary as it is defined by ERISA.

The policy excludes certain activities, including but not limited to: insider trading, foreign securities, performance guarantees, and alternative investments such as non-publicly traded REITS, uncovered options, private placements, derivatives, limited partnerships, and hedge funds not part of a mutual fund traded on a national exchange.
