Financial Advisor Insurance — Coverage, Cost & Requirements
Independent financial advisors and RIAs face professional liability exposure from investment advice, suitability claims, and fiduciary duty breaches. FINRA registration and SEC requirements create compliance obligations that intersect with E&O coverage. Cyber liability is critical — client financial data and account information is a prime breach target. Errors in tax planning advice, retirement projections, and portfolio allocation recommendations are the most common E&O triggers.
