Global insurer Chubb will introduce a specialized insurance product for investment managers in Switzerland starting September 2026. The Investment Management Insurance (IMI) is designed to consolidate key liability risks into a single policy for fund managers, private equity and venture capital firms, as well as investment companies.
The bundled coverage includes Directors & Officers (D&O) liability, Professional Indemnity (PI) and a dedicated crime component. The D&O section protects executives and firms against claims arising from alleged breaches of duty, while the PI component addresses claims related to professional services. The crime coverage addresses risks from fraud and external criminal activity.
Chubb’s offering is structured to accommodate corporate changes, with automatic inclusion of new funds and subsidiaries under the policy. The solution also provides run-off coverage in cases of fund sales or dissolutions, ensuring continuity of protection during transitions. The insurer noted that the policy language will be available in English for the Swiss market.
The initiative reflects Chubb’s expansion of its Swiss financial services insurance portfolio, targeting the growing role of investment managers in the country’s financial sector. Local underwriting teams will collaborate with brokers to tailor policies to client needs, according to Jan Mori, Manager Financial Lines at Chubb Switzerland.
The new product will be available from September 2026, marking the insurer’s latest move to address evolving risk management requirements in Switzerland’s asset management industry.
