Key Differences in Management Liability Insurance

Newfront distinguishes Side A DIC and benefit-plan fiduciary coverage

AIG’s portfolio names D&O, EPL, fiduciary, crime and K&R products. Newfront lists D&O for private and public companies, Side A difference-in-conditions protection for directors when a company cannot indemnify them, EPL and fiduciary coverage for benefit-plan decision makers. This detail can help a board or benefits team identify the exposures to discuss; ask for the specific policy wording and limits. 3 8

Newfront describes ongoing policy access and renewal preparation

Newfront brokers and negotiates the coverage and says its dashboard provides 24/7 access to policies, certificates and billing, with pre-populated renewal submissions. AIG’s portfolio page links to applications and product contacts. Companies valuing centralized policy records should ask Newfront what dashboard access entails and compare service contacts across AIG products. 8 3

Customer ratings for AIG are low: Trustpilot shows 1.9 out of 5 from 252 reviews, and NerdWallet gives 2.5 stars and notes more claims complaints than expected. These pages cover many AIG products and countries, so they only loosely describe business insurance.[1][2]

Newfront has too little firmwide customer feedback for a reliable review verdict. An individual agent’s BBB grade does not establish the wider company’s service quality.[6]

AIG vs Newfront: Management Liability Insurance: documented features by provider

CriteriaAIG Management & Professional Liability portfolioNewfront Executive Risk Management Liability
Role in This Line

Confirm in your quote.

Newfront describes management liability as a defined line of business within its Executive Risk practice, led by Deirdre Finn, who it says oversees the company's management-liability lines: D&O liability, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability. Newfront brokers and negotiates these coverages; it does not underwrite them. 8Company-reported. Executive Risk page leadership bio.

Issuing Insurer

Confirm in your quote.

The reviewed page does not name an insurer for management-liability placements; as a broker, Newfront says it negotiates coverage and claims on the client's behalf, so the issuing carrier varies by placement. 8Not found in reviewed sources. Checked the Executive Risk page for a named D&O, EPLI or fiduciary carrier; none was found.

Who It’s For

AIG describes solutions for public, private and nonprofit organizations, financial institutions and professional services firms. 3Company-reported. AIG US product portfolio. Claim limitation: No individual revenue/industry/state eligibility established. Section limitation: Company marketing does not substitute for the issued policy, state-specific forms or entity-level confirmation.

Newfront says its Executive Risk practice works with private companies from seed-stage funding through later rounds, guides companies through IPO, deSPAC and direct-listing transitions, and has worked with over 500 publicly traded companies on management-liability-adjacent needs like M&A and litigation. 8Company-reported. Executive Risk page's Here for the Long Run section; a program-wide eligibility statement, not a management-liability-only threshold.

Coverage Features

AIG’s portfolio includes D&O, EPL, fiduciary, crime/fidelity and kidnap-and-ransom products. 3Company-reported. AIG US management-liability portfolio. Claim limitation: Not proof every line can be bundled. Section limitation: Company marketing does not substitute for the issued policy, state-specific forms or entity-level confirmation.

Under management liability, Newfront lists directors and officers (D&O) insurance for private and public companies, Side A difference-in-conditions (DIC) D&O that protects individual directors when the company can't indemnify them, employment practices liability insurance (EPLI), and fiduciary liability for benefit-plan decision makers. 8Company-reported. Executive Risk page's Key Coverages list and Newfront Difference section; labels establish marketed brokerage capability, not specific policy wording, which the buyer's forms control.

Limits and Retentions

Confirm in your quote.

Published limits or retentions for management-liability coverage were not found on the reviewed page. 8Not publicly disclosed. Executive Risk page as read on 2026-09-23; limits are quote-specific for broker placements.

Risk Services

Confirm in your quote.

Newfront says it provides integrated claims and coverage negotiation for management-liability matters, including shielding directors and officers from wrongful-termination and securities-litigation claims and safeguarding fiduciaries against breach-of-duty and excessive-fee allegations, plus a proprietary dashboard for 24/7 access to policies, certificates and billing and pre-populated renewal submissions. 8Company-reported. Executive Risk page's Committed to Client Advocacy and Industry-Leading Technology sections.

How to Apply

AIG’s Management & Professional Liability portfolio page links to application forms and national product/distribution team contacts. 3Company-reported. Resources linked from the Management & Professional Liability portfolio page; the claim does not map a specific form to each named product. Claim limitation: The page does not identify which form applies to each named product, who submits applications, a mandatory broker route, eligibility, binding authority or the issuing affiliate. Section limitation: Company marketing does not substitute for the issued policy, state-specific forms or entity-level confirmation.

You engage Newfront for management-liability placement by requesting a consultation, which asks for your industry, company details and the service you need rather than issuing an instant quote. 9Company-reported. General consultation intake, not a management-liability-specific application path.
