WTW has introduced IMI Plus, an enhanced investment management insurance solution. IMI Plus is designed to meet the needs of various asset managers, including wealth managers, hedge funds, private equity firms, and real estate strategies.
WTW said that IMI Plus aims to provide comprehensive and unified risk management, reducing the administrative burden of multiple policies and the risk of protection gaps.
The global broker said that unlike traditional insurance options that segment coverage into separate policies, IMI Plus combines critical protections under one streamlined policy, including comprehensive cyber coverage and other benefits.
The solution streamlines the process with one comprehensive policy instead of managing multiple agreements and renewal dates. Additionally, IMI Plus can be customized to fit each investment manager’s specific needs and is available as a complete package or as modular options for targeted coverage.
WTW also highlighted that its global claims advocacy team is available to assist swiftly and efficiently in the event of a claim.
By leveraging WTW’s expertise in operational due diligence, IMI Plus offers a premium discount to investment managers upon successful completion of WTW Investment division’s independent operational due diligence assessment.

One WTW working smarter to close the insurance gap for our clients by bringing our knowledge of risk and capital together,” Keville said.
