From cash and precious metals to high value documents, the diverse nature of these assets makes them well suited to our specialist underwriters’ approach to creating bespoke coverage.
This includes a particular expertise in insurance for excess coverage in relation to protections offered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC); Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF); ERISA bonds; and lost instrument bonds.
