Financial Services Insurance
Because financial firms need smarter protection.
Coverage Built for Advisors, Firms, and Fiduciaries.
Chicago’s financial services professionals face a distinctive set of risks — a client who claims bad advice cost them money, a data breach that exposes sensitive account information, and a regulatory inquiry that requires legal defense before any finding is made. A standard commercial policy wasn’t designed for any of those scenarios. At Truska Insurance, we provide financial services insurance in Chicago tailored to the specific exposures of investment advisors, RIAs, wealth managers, accountants, and law firms. As an independent agency, we compare coverage across multiple top-rated carriers to build programs that protect your firm, your clients, and your professional reputation.

Why Chicago Financial Firms Choose Truska
Financial firms choose Truska because the exposures in this industry are too specific for a generalist broker to handle well. Professional liability claims in financial services often involve complex regulatory timelines, FINRA or SEC involvement, and legal costs that accumulate long before any finding. Cyber liability for a firm holding sensitive client financial data is a different risk profile than cyber liability for a retail business. We understand those distinctions and build financial services insurance programs in Chicago that reflect them — with carriers who specialize in this space and policy language that holds up when it matters.
Insurance Solutions for Chicago’s Financial Industry
Every financial services insurance program we build in Chicago is structured around your firm type, your services, and the regulatory framework you operate under.
Commercial Property
Commercial property insurance protects buildings and physical assets owned or used by a business. It typically covers damage to structures, equipment, inventory, furniture, and other business property caused by risks such as fire, theft, vandalism, and certain weather events. It can also help businesses recover financially by covering repair or replacement costs after a covered loss, thereby reducing downtime and operational disruption.
Commercial General Liability
General liability protects your firm from third-party claims of bodily injury and property damage — a client injured during a meeting at your Chicago office, or damage that occurs during an off-site event. For financial advisory and accounting firms that regularly host clients, general liability is the baseline of any complete commercial insurance program.
Cyber Liability
Financial firms are among the most targeted industries for cyberattacks — and one of the most heavily regulated when a breach occurs. Cyber liability coverage for Chicago financial services firms covers forensic investigation, client notification, regulatory fines, legal defense, and reputational management costs following a breach. We work with carriers who understand the specific data obligations of RIAs, broker-dealers, and accounting firms under SEC, FINRA, and Illinois regulatory requirements.
Fidelity | Crime
Financial firms handle client assets, confidential account information, and significant transaction volumes — making fidelity and crime coverage essential, not optional. It protects against employee theft, embezzlement, fraudulent wire transfers, and forgery. For investment advisors and wealth managers, many custodians and institutional clients require a minimum fidelity bond as a condition of doing business. We make sure your coverage meets those requirements and reflects the actual assets under management or custody.
Workers’ Compensation | Employer Liability
Illinois law requires workers’ compensation for any firm with employees. For financial services firms, the primary risk isn’t physical injury — it’s the legal and financial exposure of operating without compliant coverage. We ensure your policy reflects your actual staff structure, including any remote employees or part-time professionals common in boutique advisory and accounting practices.
Commercial Umbrella
Commercial Umbrella Liability insurance provides an extra layer of protection above your existing general liability, commercial auto, and employers liability policies. It kicks in when underlying coverage limits are exhausted, helping protect your business from large claims or catastrophic losses.
claim Scenarios
Fiduciary Duty Breach
A firm fails to follow a client’s investment instructions in a retirement plan, resulting in financial loss. The firm is held liable for breach of fiduciary duty and must compensate the client for the loss.
Cybersecurity Breach
A data breach exposes sensitive client financial information. The clients sue for negligence in data protection. The cyber liability insurance policy helps cover the legal fees, notification costs, and credit monitoring services as a result of the breach
Trade Execution Errors
A technical glitch caused automated trades to fail to execute for several clients over six months. The market performs well during this time, and clients miss out on gains. The firm files a claim and receives $220,000 in reimbursement to compensate affected clients.
