At Zurich, we understand the complexities of investment management, the ever increasing regulatory environment and the potential exposure faced by an investment manager. And, importantly, we understand that the pressure to perform for clients creates enormous demands upon an investment manager’s time.
Zurich releases Companion policy in response to the Bridgecorp Decision
Designed to address concerns raised by the Bridgecorp decision by the NZ High Court in September 2011, Zurich have developed the Companion ISIS Defence Costs and Expenses Insurance policy for the New Zealand and Australian insurance market.
As an accompaniment to the traditional Zurich ISIS policy, the Companion policy provides comfort that a dedicated limit of liability for defence costs and other expenses will be available when a statutory charge prevents payment under the traditional policy.
