All financial investment advisers must be able to provide evidence at all times of the existence of an insurance policy covering them against the financial consequences of their professional civil liability in the event of a breach of their professional obligations as defined in this chapter.

The minimum level of cover that must be provided by professional indemnity insurance is set by decree, depending on the legal form in which the advisory activity is carried out and the products and services likely to be advised.
