Key Differences in Management Liability Insurance

Zurich identifies four risks that traditional CGL usually leaves outside its scope

AIG’s portfolio lists D&O, employment practices, fiduciary, crime/fidelity and K&R products for several organization types. Zurich says its Management Liability suite addresses D&O, EPLI, fiduciary and crime exposures that traditional commercial general liability usually does not. Zurich’s coordinated approach groups those interconnected risks; buyers should still compare the actual policy forms because the overview is not a grant of coverage. 3 6

AIG’s published product list includes K&R

Zurich’s cited suite names four lines: D&O, EPLI, fiduciary and crime. AIG also lists kidnap-and-ransom among its management-liability products. If K&R matters, ask Zurich whether it can be placed alongside its suite; then compare the proposal with AIG’s K&R terms and issuer. 3 6

What to Confirm in Management Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Zurich which lines can be coordinated with the four-part suite, including K&R if needed. 6
  • Compare policy forms, limits and exclusions for each AIG and Zurich line. 3 6

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]

Review Score

The available Zurich review evidence is mixed and comes from distinct populations: a car-rental-business editorial rating, broad global and U.S. review-platform snapshots, and a BBB business-profile grade. These are not a representative measure of every Zurich commercial policy or claim.[1][4][5][6][7]
