NSI’s Capital Markets Group offers a range of specialty insurance products designed to address the diverse risk profiles of small and micro-cap public companies. The focus is on providing targeted coverage that protects against specific risks faced by leadership and operations.

Cyber Liability insurance protects against data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other cyber risks that can disrupt business operations and expose companies to legal liability. Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) offers protection against claims related to workplace misconduct, discrimination, or wrongful termination.

Additional specialty coverages include Crime insurance to safeguard against theft and fraud, as well as Fiduciary Liability insurance, which helps protect company leadership when managing employee benefit plans. Representations and Warranties insurance provides coverage against potential liabilities arising from deal-related disclosures for companies navigating mergers, acquisitions, or other transactions.

By combining specialty coverages with core D&O insurance, NSI’s Capital Markets Group helps companies build a comprehensive risk management strategy that aligns with their unique needs.

NSI’s Capital Markets Group takes a holistic approach to risk management, recognizing that small and micro-cap public companies face unique challenges that extend beyond individual insurance policies. By integrating a range of coverages and advisory services, the group provides a comprehensive strategy to manage risk at every stage of a company’s lifecycle.

Effective risk management begins with identifying potential leadership, operations, and transactions exposures. This process often involves assessing the adequacy of Directors & Officers (D&O) insurance and considering complementary coverages such as Cyber Liability, Employment Practices Liability (EPLI), Crime, and Fiduciary Liability. Rather than addressing each risk in isolation, the Capital Markets Group develops integrated solutions that concurrently address multiple areas of exposure.

An important aspect of this approach is the focus on proactive planning. For companies preparing for an IPO or other major financial event, NSI works closely with leadership to conduct risk assessments and develop coverage strategies that protect both the company and its executives. The customized insurance programs they provide are aligned with specific corporate governance requirements or market listing standards. Another component of comprehensive risk management is ongoing support. NSI’s Capital Markets Group monitors the evolving risk landscape, helping clients adjust their coverage as their business models and risk profiles change.

Whether the goal is to protect against emerging cyber threats or to ensure continuity of leadership through tailored D&O coverage, the group remains actively involved throughout the client relationship. By combining strategic insight with responsive service, NSI’s Capital Markets Group enables small and micro-cap public companies to navigate complex risk environments more confidently. Their comprehensive approach not only helps protect leadership and assets but also positions companies to respond effectively when risks arise.

NSI’s Capital Markets Group provides advisory services tailored to the specific needs of small and micro-cap public companies, which often face complex challenges when preparing for financial events, navigating regulatory requirements, or managing transactional risks. NSI’s approach offers strategic guidance and practical support to help clients efficiently manage these demands.

The advisory process typically begins with a comprehensive assessment of the company’s risk profile. For companies planning an IPO, uplisting, or significant capital raise, NSI works closely with leadership to identify potential liabilities and develop a customized risk management plan. This plan often includes tailored insurance solutions, such as D&O coverage, that meet specific governance and compliance standards.

In addition to pre-transaction planning, the Capital Markets Group supports clients through the execution phase, which may involve coordinating with investment banks, legal counsel, and other stakeholders to ensure that risk management considerations are fully integrated into the transaction process. By leveraging deep industry expertise and established relationships with underwriters, NSI helps clients secure coverage that aligns with their strategic objectives. NSI continues to offer support post-transaction as companies adapt to new regulatory environments or face evolving risk landscapes. This ongoing advisory relationship helps ensure that coverage remains appropriate as the company’s financial and operational conditions change.

NSI’s Capital Markets Advisory Services are designed to provide more than just risk mitigation. By delivering insight into potential exposures and offering practical solutions, the group helps companies position themselves for sustainable growth while protecting their leadership and assets.

NSI’s Capital Markets Group offers outsourced risk management services tailored to the needs of small and micro-cap public companies. For many of these companies, managing complex risk profiles internally can be challenging, particularly when resources are limited or specialized expertise is required. NSI addresses this gap by providing flexible, external risk management support.

The process starts with thoroughly evaluating existing policies and risk management practices. NSI collaborates with company leadership to identify coverage gaps and potential vulnerabilities, considering current operations and long-term objectives. This comprehensive assessment forms the basis for a customized plan addressing the company’s risks.

Rather than approaching risk management as a static task, NSI emphasizes adaptability. As business conditions change, the Capital Markets Group remains actively involved, conducting regular reviews to ensure coverage stays aligned with evolving needs. Whether responding to new regulatory requirements or shifts in the market, NSI helps clients make informed adjustments.

For larger companies, NSI can serve as an external partner, working alongside internal teams to enhance existing risk management efforts. This collaborative model allows organizations to benefit from NSI’s expertise while maintaining their own internal oversight. By choosing an outsourced model, companies can allocate resources more efficiently while gaining access to specialized risk management capabilities. Their approach not only reduces administrative burden but also supports more strategic decision-making.

NSI’s Capital Markets Group primarily serves small and micro-cap public companies, particularly those listed on the Nasdaq, NYSE, and OTC markets. Many of these companies face unique challenges related to leadership risk, compliance, and operational security, and NSI’s tailored insurance solutions are designed to address those needs.

In addition to working directly with public companies, the Capital Markets Group partners with a range of professionals involved in capital markets activities, including investment bankers, IR consultants, securities attorneys, and exchanges, as well as audit and advisory firms seeking a trusted insurance partner for their clients.

NSI also supports SPACs and De-SPACs, offering guidance on risk management during the transition from private to public status. By collaborating with financial and legal advisors, NSI helps ensure that risk management considerations are fully integrated into strategic planning and transactional processes.

This collaborative approach not only benefits public companies but also adds value to advisory firms looking for reliable insurance partners. Working with NSI enables these professionals to offer specialized risk management solutions to their clients, enhancing their own service offerings while addressing critical coverage needs. By engaging directly with companies and building relationships with capital markets professionals, NSI’s Capital Markets Group strengthens its network while helping clients navigate the complexities of risk management.
