Key Differences in Management Liability Insurance

Nationwide describes a commercial suite; AIG names more entity types

AIG describes solutions for public and private organizations, nonprofits, financial institutions and professional-services firms. Nationwide’s product page describes a commercial suite listing D&O, crime, fiduciary and EPL, while its audience claim refers to commercial organizations. The Nationwide description does not establish one uniform policy’s terms. If you are a nonprofit or financial institution, confirm eligibility with both providers before comparing forms. 3 7

Nationwide directs buyers to an agent or quote request

AIG links to application forms and national product contacts. Nationwide directs prospects to contact an agent or request a quote; the page does not establish a bind timeline. Buyers should ask what information is needed and whether the quote covers multiple product lines together. 3 7
