RIA Custodian Insurance Requirements

Having the right coverage helps your firm comply with different state and industry regulations, control and mitigate risks, and work with clients who require insurance protection as a business prerequisite. So what insurance coverages do registered insurance advisors need?

RIA custodians must be covered for:

  • Errors and omissions (E&O)
  • Social engineering
  • Theft by hackers (including cyber attacks)
  • Theft by employees
  • A $1 million aggregate amount

This coverage can mitigate the risks of negligence, mistakes, oversights, omissions, and malpractice; client claims of an alleged error, poor financial advice, or financial harm; and acts of bad faith by employees and third parties.

In addition to professional liability insurance, RIA firms should have directors and officers (D&O) insurance to protect the firm’s owners, directors, officers, and board members from personal financial losses. They may also want to consider crime and fidelity bonds and a business owner’s policy (BOP).

RIA Insurance Eligibility

At HCP National, we provide comprehensive coverage for financial professionals and investment firms.

To be eligible for RIA professional liability insurance, you must be/have:

  • A(n) financial planner, investment manager (including activities as a registered investment adviser), life insurance salesperson, registered representative, or a provisioner of general financial education courses and seminars
  • An individual or firm of up to 20 Registered Investment Advisers (RIA)
  • SEC or state-registered investment advisors
  • Up to $1 billion in assets under management
