Smaller firms hit hardest by rapidly rising PI rates
Professional Indemnity premiums have risen 20% over the past three years for financial advisers, research has found.
Financial advisory firms earning up to £100,000 a year paid the highest premiums relative to their revenue, Money Marketing reported.
In 2017, 3.8% of their revenue went towards their premium on average, while this figure increased to 3.8% in 2018 and 4.4% in 2019.
But businesses with a turnover great than £10m only saw premiums increase by 0.8% in 2017, and 1.2% in 2019.
The research also reported a rise in PI exclusions over the same period.
Firms earning less than £100,000 paid an average premium of £2,727 in 2019, while those earning over £10m paid £968,143 on average last year.
Last month, Insurance Times reported that the solicitors’ PI sector was facing significant rate rises.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
