The requirement to maintain professional indemnity coverage will normally be met by the investment firm licensee concerned obtaining an insurance policy from an insurance firm. The CBB may also accept an insurance indemnity policy issued at group level, e.g. issued with respect to the parent of the investment firm licensee, provided the terms of the policy explicitly provide indemnity coverage with respect to the investment firm licensee. Similarly, overseas investment firm licensees may provide evidence of professional indemnity coverage maintained by their head office, providing that the coverage of the professional indemnity extends to the operations of the branch operating in Bahrain.
