Various errors and activities can lead to claims under Investment Manager Professional
Indemnity Insurance. Some common examples include:

Incorrect Investment Advice
If an investment manager provides advice that leads to financial losses for their clients, they could be held liable for negligence or breach of duty. Claims may arise if the investments recommended are unsuitable for the client's risk tolerance, investment objectives, or financial situation.

Failure to Monitor Investments
Investment managers are expected to continuously monitor their clients' investments and make adjustments as needed. Failing to do so and missing crucial market trends or indicators could lead to negligence claims.

Misrepresentation or Omissions
Providing inaccurate or incomplete information about investment products, risks, or performance can also result in claims of misrepresentation. Clients may hold the investment professional accountable for any financial losses suffered due to such omissions.

Breach of Fiduciary Duty
Investment managers have a legal obligation to act in their clients' best interests and avoid conflicts of interest. Any actions that violate this duty, such as self-dealing or favoring certain clients over others, can lead to claims of breach of fiduciary duty.

Failure to Comply with Regulations
Investment managers must adhere to various regulatory requirements and industry standards. Failing to comply with these regulations, whether intentionally or inadvertently, can expose professionals to claims of misconduct and regulatory sanctions.
