By GlobalData“Apex Protect is a powerful proposition, combining Mosaic’s experienced underwriting team and broker partners, with Apex Group’s market-leading ESG services to help identify and reduce financial and non-financial risks across funds.”
According to Apex, non-executive directors can access “special additional” limits in the event of exhaustion, and pre-claim costs to cover inquiries or investigations, and directors and officers of funds can also use these funds to meet regulatory and public relations costs.
Mosaic strategic growth officer Liam Jones said: “This is a ground-breaking approach that combines our revolutionary technology, market-leading D&O coverage, and claims services informed by ever-important ESG risk understanding that allows objective client differentiation.”
Aon global speciality product leader Christine Williams said: “Reducing the frictional burden and cost whilst increasing the transparency of purchasing fund-level D&O insurance is an important step towards driving innovation in this industry for clients.
“This is an exciting step in this journey, and we are thrilled to be partnering with both Apex and Mosaic to deliver this innovative solution.”
