Want to hear responses from other RIA owner/operators or IARs. Assume basic E/O is $1m limit per event and you have several big accounts ($5m+) would you raise your E/O limit? If so to what?

I guess the way I look at it, is you have to consider the investments and strategies you are using first.But the different between $1mm and something bigger (say $2mm) is probably only $300-500 a year in premium, no?I can tell you that on my plan, the difference between $1mm and $2mm per claim (and $1mm to $2mm in aggregate) was just over $300 per year.If it concerns you, just do it.

It does not really concern me since I am rather picky when it comes to client selection. Not to mention I have heard from numerous people that most E/O plans do not really cover your true risks.More or less wondering what most people carry that have larger than average account sizes.

like

I carry $2mm/$2mm, and I don't have any $5mm+ clients. But I went from $1mm to $2mm because the premium increase was marginal.And I agree, when I look at the Outline of Coverage, there are a lot of things that it won't cover that are more common lawsuit targets. For example, I'm not sure it would cover "unsuitable investments". If a client disagrees with an investment you used and it lost value.It covers trade corrections, but how common is that??

like

I wouldn't do it... most E/O claims aren't investments but products (VAs, non traded REITS, private investments)...You don't even really need E/O if you aren't using those products, and doing a basic risk assessment.. Also the deductibles on E/O are stupid some as high as $50k...

like

I have mixed feelings, a large E&O also means a large target on your back... plaintiffs attorney s go where the money is. Low or no E&O means you are vulnerable and anybody who thinks their clients won't file suit is just crazy... what about a family member or spouse or beneficiary? Remember attorneys will say anything to get the biz. Get good dispute resolution language (hint, both sides pay own attorney fees) and have a good broad based E&O policy from a reputable carrier... having to pay out of pocket few hundred thousand in settlement can sting!

Btw, you can buy deductible insurance also... it makes sense if you have multiple IARs under one policy...

I got a promotion a year and 3 months ago, and got a pay raise 5 months ago. Could I still ask for a promotion to SAE if I have been supporting a team more as one? Promotions are hard to stab with.

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?
