CRIME
Companies are constantly and increasingly facing problems with financial crime as they experience attempts from employees and/or third parties to steal, misuse or misappropriate monies/funds and physical goods. Segregation of duties and dual control may reduce the exposures but with human misconduct as the main driver for crime related losses, such losses cannot be eliminated.

INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Asset Management is complex and involves many risks. Moreover the heavy regulatory burden is ever increasing, hence being compliant with applicable rules and legislation is more challenging than ever before. Aside from the critical governance and compliance tasks, asset managers must maintain focus on their core business; ensuring positive financial returns on investments, both for their investors and the company itself. Even a minor error or omission in the management of funds can have severe financial impact for the investors and the managing company.

SECURITIES OFFERING LIABILITY INSURANCE
A public offering of securities involves a prospectus. The company issuing securities as well as its board of directors and executive management are signatories to the prospectus. Should the prospectus be misleading or inadequately describe the risks connected with the offering, the issuing company and the physical persons signing the prospectus may face claims from new investors, current shareholders and regulators.
In order to transfer this risk and enable management to focus on the company’s core business rather than potential claims and the subsequent personal financial default such may lead to, companies purchase SOLI insurance.
A RiskPoint SOLI insurance covers defence costs, many of the other costs related to a law suit and any damages the insured persons and the issuer are held liable for in relation to the prospectus.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
An increasing number of companies think not only about how they manage their intellectual rights but also how they can insure their intellectual rights, as continued globalization lead to expansions into new territories, which may result in infringement of patents or other intellectual rights in these new territories, regardless of non-infringement in the existing markets.
The cost of intellectual property rights litigation can be astronomical. Intellectual property litigation can pose a real threat to the operations and financials of the company. Furthermore, the risk that a given company will be involved in some form of intellectual property litigation continues to increase, as more and more companies rely on intellectual properties as an essential asset of the company.
Intellectual property insurance may not make sense for every company. For the small technology company, presumingly having intellectual property as its most valuable asset, or for the new competitor trying to break into a market in which aggressively enforced intellectual property rights are the rule rather than the exception, the appropriate insurance protection may decide the future of the company.
In most markets Intellectual property is either excluded or restricted in the standard General Liability or Professional Indemnity insurance.
RiskPoint offers market leading terms and conditions on IPR insurance.

DIRECTORS & OFFICERS (D&O)
Directors & officers may be held personally liable for the losses connected to culpable acts or negligence by the director and/or officer.
The Board of Directors and Executive Management can be targeted personally, either individually or collectively. While the liability of the company is limited, a director’s and officers liability is unlimited, which is why D&O insurance is important.
RiskPoint’s D&O insurance covers directors and officers for damages and defence costs as well as other related costs incurred due to claims against them, demanding damages as a consequence of financial losses. The insurance covers from the first civil or criminal investigation, including defence costs arising from both actual or alleged wrongful acts.

WEB BANK
If hackers compromise IT security and gain access to your bank account and steal the money on that account, your bank will usually cover such loss if you are a private customer of the bank. As a company, the bank will typically (depending on the banking agreement) not reimburse you if your web bank accounts are hacked and your money is stolen.
Given the abundance of IT security breaches crime and cyber insurance products are in high demand. If you do not need the full crime coverage, you can purchase a scaled down policy covering electronic theft undertaken by third parties only, also known as Web bank insurance. Riskpoints Web bank insurance covers the company for electronic theft of money in an insured online bank account.
