Specialist Risk Group (SRG) delivers bespoke Directors’ & Officers’ (D&O) liability solutions that safeguard leadership from management-related exposures, regulatory scrutiny, and stakeholder claims. Working with specialist D&O underwriters across Singapore and the region, we structure insurance programmes that are aligned to your organisational structure, governance responsibilities, and industry risk profile. Our consultative approach ensures comprehensive protection for individuals and the company itself.
D&O insurance protects individuals in leadership roles from claims alleging mismanagement, breach of duty, negligence, error, or failure to comply with regulations. These claims can arise from shareholders, employees, regulators, customers, creditors, or other stakeholders, and often involve significant defence costs and financial exposure. As regulatory expectations rise and corporate governance becomes increasingly complex, D&O insurance forms a critical component of organisational protection, supporting confident decision-making, leadership stability, and continuity.

D&O insurance can cover legal defence costs, settlements, damages, investigation expenses and regulatory defence arising from covered claims.
Individual cover protects directors and officers when the company cannot indemnify them. Company cover reimburses the organisation when it does indemnify directors and may also protect the company itself against certain claims.

Yes, in certain circumstances, such as securities-related claims, depending on policy structure and coverage sections.
D&O can cover certain employment-related mismanagement claims brought against directors, although Employment Practices Liability (EPL) is often arranged separately for broader protection.
Coverage for fines and penalties depends on local law and policy wording. Defence costs are generally covered even where fines may not be insurable.
Limits are based on company size, revenue, balance sheet strength, industry risk, regulatory exposure and claims history. We assess these factors to recommend appropriate limits.
Run-off cover protects directors against claims made after a merger, acquisition, insolvency or business closure for decisions taken while they were in office.
D&O forms part of a broader Financial Lines programme and can be complemented by EPL, Crime and Cyber insurance for comprehensive leadership protection.
We tailor D&O programmes that are aligned to governance risk and provide specialist support throughout placement and claims, helping leaders navigate scrutiny with confidence.
