Financial services risk financing: entities, activities and governance

Financial services groups often include regulated entities with different supervisors. The first question is which entity and activity are in scope, because that shapes what can be retained and who must approve it.

Liability, operational and governance risks for financial services firms, with relevant specialists.

Common risks and risk-financing considerations in Financial Services

  • Professional and management liability — Errors and omissions, directors' and officers' and fiduciary exposures differ by activity. Separate them in data and discussion.
  • Operational, cyber and regulated entities — Regulated entities may face supervisory expectations about risk and capital. Rules depend on the activity and regulator; do not assume they are the same across a group.
  • Entity boundaries and governance — Which entity owns a retention, and with what approvals, matters as much as the exposure itself. Settle that with counsel early.
  • Questions for specialists — Ask which financial activities a provider has worked with, who carries out the actuarial work on any retained layer, and how the provider works within your regulators' requirements.
