The role of investment managers is pivotal in today’s financial landscape. With significant growth in Israeli investments globally—approximately $16.5 billion in real estate alone between 2017 and 2022—managing client portfolios effectively is more critical than ever. However, the dual responsibility of maximizing client returns while adhering to stringent regulatory requirements exposes investment managers to significant risks.

What is IMI Insurance for Investment Managers?

Investment Management Insurance (IMI) is a specialized policy designed to protect investment managers, their firms, and the funds they oversee from professional liabilities. Whether you manage private equity funds, venture capital funds, hedge funds, or real estate funds, IMI Insurance provides essential coverage, allowing you to focus on achieving your clients’ financial goals with confidence.

Why Do Investment Managers Need IMI Insurance?

    Investment managers are subject to complex regulatory requirements. Failure to comply can lead to investigations, fines, and legal actions.
  2. Client Lawsuits:
    Claims of negligence, failure to supervise, or professional errors can expose managers to significant financial and reputational risks.
  3. Dynamic Investment Landscape:
    The growing diversity of investment opportunities, from global stocks to real estate, increases exposure to unforeseen risks.
