The
Need
In increasing
numbers, private equity firms are utilizing ABD’s Private Equity Services
Group for comprehensive 360º protection that begins
at the portfolio company level and continues to the partnership. Our clients
range in scope from buyout and recapitalization to venture capital firms.
Whether they are managing new or vintage funds, all recognize that the
private equity environment is changing and their exposures to liability are
increasing.
Protecting
the Firm – A Two-Tiered Process
Portfolio
Company Risk Management-
ABD’s 360 º protection begins with your portfolio companies, where we
conduct a complete audit of the risk exposures potentially affecting
valuation and cash flow. This includes access to a complete spectrum of
ABD’s products and services and an
in-depth analysis of the portfolio company’s
Directors’ & Officers’ (D&O) and Corporate Governance exposures – the private equity firm’s and the
partners’ first line of defense.
Firm Level
Risk Management- In
addition to the responsibility and duty owed to portfolio company
shareholders, firms and their partners must balance their fiduciary duty to
LPs. ABD recognizes and understands the very unique nature of risk inherent
in this relationship. Our Private Equity Services Group will provide your
firm with the
General Partner Liability
and M&A Services
needed to manage
both existing and future risks. Beyond this, we advise your firm on the
often overlooked ‘soft’costs of your total cost of risk such as claims
management and loss control.
Attention to Detail
Like D&O
coverage, General Partner Liability insurance is a highly negotiated
contract and coverage quality varies markedly from one policy to another.
For the second consecutive year ABD has been named by Tillinghast as the #1
D&O broker in the country. The same technical expertise driving this
recognition is the foundation of our General Partner Liability consulting
and brokerage services.
