Investors need to diligence the cybersecurity policies and procedures of their investment managers to assess the risk of potentially devastating cyber-attacks. Of significant concern to investors are protection of their sensitive data and the risk of loss to a fund or investment portfolio resulting from a cyber-event. These risks can be mitigated by effective procedures implemented by their investment managers.
