Protection for the injuries, accidents and damage you cause
General liability insurance covers a wide range of financial advising accidents and basic risks. You’ll have financial protection if someone other than an employee gets hurt or you are held responsible for damaging property that doesn’t belong to you. It’s often required by clients and licensing agencies.

Coverage against business mistakes and claims of negligence
Professional liability insurance (also known as errors and omissions or financial advisor indemnity insurance) helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money. For example, if you are accused of advising a client to make a bad investment, it could help cover related expenses to defend yourself or address the problem.

Financial advisor insurance requirements

Financial advisor insurance requirements

Financial advisors are almost always required to have insurance due to the risk of injury to staff and clients, as well as damage to property. You might need insurance to:

  • Start managing client accounts. Clients and local governments might ask you to have active insurance — usually general liability or workers’ compensation.
  • Hire employees. Most states require workers’ compensation.
  • Drive for business purposes. Business-owned vehicles typically need commercial auto insurance.
  • Repair or replace property you own or rent. Protect your inventory, equipment and even the building that you lease or own.

Frequently asked questions about business insurance

Here are some of the most common questions we get about insurance for financial advisors. If you don’t find the answers you need here, our licensed, U.S.-based insurance advisors are standing by to help via online chat or phone.

How does business insurance protect financial advisors?

Our financial advisor insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You’ll be protected from financial losses related to:

Damage to someone’s property

You accidentally spill coffee on a client’s laptop during a meeting. The general liability coverage in your insurance package would help pay for a replacement.

Accidents that hurt someone

A client trips on a rug in your office and fractures their hip. Your general liability coverage would also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

A client claims you provided illegal tax-planning advice. Professional liability coverage for financial advisors (also known as E&O insurance for financial advisors) helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.

Workplace injuries

You trip over a computer cord in a colleague’s office and injure your arm. Workers’ compensation coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages — not to mention it’s usually required by law if you have employees.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

You skid into another car on an icy road while driving to a client meeting. Commercial auto coverage will help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.

Damage to your own property

Thieves break into your office overnight and steal expensive electronics. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire, tornado or vandalism.
