Key Differences in Fiduciary Liability Insurance

Who and What the Forms Address

AIG describes Fiduciary Edge as addressing personal liability for directors, officers and employees overseeing benefit plans and lists optional penalty and compliance protections. Chubb identifies the company, its executives and employees, and the benefit plan itself as insureds under ForeFront Portfolio 3.0. That distinction matters when the sponsor checks whether both the organization and the plan are named, and whether AIG's optional protections are actually selected in the offered policy. 3 7

Placement and Risk Resources

Chubb makes fiduciary coverage available within ForeFront, which agents and brokers can quote through Chubb Marketplace, and describes loss-prevention resources for policyholders. AIG describes specialized underwriting and claims teams. For a sponsor evaluating service alongside coverage, ask what resources are included and whether a specific account receives them; neither product page establishes the service level for an individual policy. 3 8
