Key Differences in Management Liability Insurance

WTW describes an intermediary role and FINEX placement

AIG’s portfolio names D&O, EPL, fiduciary, crime/fidelity and K&R products. WTW lists management-liability insurance among FINEX solutions and says it normally acts as the client’s insurance intermediary under its North American terms. Buyers working with WTW should expect a broker relationship and ask which insurer will issue each policy; the AIG page provides product contacts and applications. 3 8

WTW explains the step from quote to bound coverage

WTW’s terms say an insurer’s quote does not confirm coverage; after a client orders binding, WTW seeks a formal insurer commitment, typically a binder, then reviews policy documents against negotiated terms. That process detail gives buyers a concrete checkpoint before relying on coverage. AIG’s reviewed overview does not describe an equivalent binding workflow. 9 3

What to Confirm in Management Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask WTW what constitutes the insurer’s binding commitment and when the policy documents will be checked. 9
  • Identify AIG’s issuing company and requested effective date in the final documents. 3
