The Opportunity

The business of managing investments is riskier and more complex than ever:

• Varied business models such as Mutual Fund Managers that own distribution, stand-alone Investment Advisory firms and finally Investment funds that are structured as trusts versus corporations

• Outside the Canadian Banks, very few large independent asset managers left, but many small private firms

• Dynamic regulatory environment, increased scrutiny

• National Instrument 81-107 - November 2006 - Independent Review Committee

• National Instrument 31-103 - September 28, 2009 - national registration regime for financial management firms and individuals

CanChubbQuote@chubb.com

The Opportunity (cont’d)

• Rapidly evolving products, structures and distribution channels of the asset management industry

• Mergers and acquisitions activity has meant several mid-sized firms are gone and we are left with a handful of large asset managers that manufacture and distribute investment product

• Global marketplace means clients can be non-Canadian, firms often own subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions as well as set up off-shore funds

Asset management firms and their investment funds need proven insurance coverage that can easily adapt.
