What we offer
There has been significant growth of the number of Appointed Representatives (ARs) authorised by the FCA in recent years. We have responded to this growth by focusing on servicing the specific insurance needs of ARs. This has involved the creation of bespoke insurance solutions for Professional Indemnity, Directors' & Officers' Liability and other insurance covers. The result has been ARs receiving lower excesses and wider cover.
Whether your purchasing decision is driven by a platform requirement or a desire to protect your business, Protean has the depth of experience from helping over 100 ARs purchase cover.
Why Protean Risk?
- Highly competitive pricing
- Convenient monthly payments available
- Specialist coverage designed specifically for ARs
- Insurance broking partner of some of the largest platforms
- Fast turnaround times
What our clients say

We refer all of our PII enquiries to Protean because they have been able to find insurers for our clients when other brokers could not

We're a compliance consultancy and we were introduced to Protean Risk by our professional body, the Association of Professional Compliance Consultants, when we launched in 2013 and they have been our Professional Indemnity Insurance (PII) broker since then. I have also introduced several of my clients to Protean Risk when they needed to obtain PII. Turnaround times are important as is the ability to speak to someone knowledgeable when questions arise and I have found their staff to be very helpful.

Hugo and the team at Protean Risk provided an exceptional level of service from our initial discussions, right through finalising the quotes for multiple insurance products which we sourced through them. The team at Protean Risk were more than happy to jump on calls to provide clarity about the nuances that arise in levels of insurance coverage across multiple products. Having dealt with other providers in the past, we found Protean Risk to be very prompt and thorough in their replies which greatly helped us keep things moving. The Board of Directors were very happy with their services and we would certainly recommend Protean Risk to other customers!
