Matt Brinda - Jared Wood Asset Managment Expert

Matt Brinda

Account Executive

Matt Brinda began his insurance career in 2012 underwriting D&O/EPL/Fiduciary/Crime/Kidnap & Ransom insurance policies for private business of all sorts ranging from pre-revenue-solopreneur businesses to global decacorn behemoths. Years later, his focus shifted to higher profile public D&O underwriting, filled with 10Ks, securities class actions, and sleepless nights waiting for the next IPO lawsuit to defend. Leaving the underwriting side of insurance to the client service broker side ended up being the perfect match for Matt. He forged his insurance-nerd-skills with his effortless ability to connect with people at HUB. When he is not reviewing policy language, you’ll probably find him walking along San Francisco’s Embarcadero with his wife and twelve-pound cockapoo, Mambo likely with his head buried in twitter reviewing the current venture capital gossip and crypto/AI trends while listening to The All-In Podcast.

Lauren grew up in Southern California but now lives right outside of Salt Lake City, UT. She believes that customer’s needs come first and that insurance is fascinating!

why asset management protection?​

Nothing is more important than protecting your funds, your investors and your investments through various products and policies. Your HUB advisor will identify the overall risk exposure to each piece of the asset management puzzle and will provide a tailored solution that fits how you do business.

How is Asset Management Insurance Different than D&O?​

An Asset Management Liability Policy is a blended policy that includes D&O, E&O and Outside Directorship Liability mentioned above.  Asset Managers wear many hats in their day to day operations and this blended policy is the only way to pick up all of the exposures in one policy.
