Insurance for Private Equity Portfolios

What is private equity insurance?

Private equity insurance is both commercial insurance products and risk mitigation and claims services customized to the needs of the private equity firm’s portfolio of companies. These products and services are built to protect against a wide range of risk exposures that can lead to litigation and/or losses. Although private equity firms can gain substantial benefits when acquiring portfolio companies, those acquisitions sometimes come with potential risks, such as lawsuits, regulatory challenges, reputational damages and vulnerability to a changing investment climate.

Insurance solutions designed and delivered with the speed, accuracy and response that fast-moving private equity deals demand can help private equity firms mitigate potential risks, allowing them to focus on the complexities of managing their diverse business operations.
