In May, AIG announced its launch of Crowdfunding Fidelity - crowdfunding insurance currently available in the UK and Canada - aimed at protecting investors on equity crowdfunding platforms against issuer fraud. The release notes potential expansion to crowdfunding platforms worldwide: "As more countries finalize regulations around companies raising capital through crowdfunding, AIG may have the potential to extend this solution to crowdfunding platforms around the world."
As previously reported, the US's Regulation Crowdfunding became effective in mid-May.
