Beazley vs Coalition Fiduciary Liability Insurance

Beazley underwrites fiduciary liability coverage for the individuals who administer employer benefit plans, sold standalone on its dedicated Fiduciary page and as one of three coverages bundled in its ExecuGuard package policy alongside D&O and employment practices liability. ^5,3Company-reported. US fiduciary liability as described on the two reviewed product pages; does not establish which entity issues a particular policy.

Coalition designs and distributes fiduciary liability as one of four coverages in its Executive Risks product suite, sold through appointed brokers. ⁹Company-reported. Executive Risks product page as read on 2026-09-23.

The Fiduciary product page does not name the specific Beazley insurance entity that issues the policy. ⁵Not found in reviewed sources. Fiduciary page as read on 2026-09-23; the issued policy's declarations control the actual insurer.

Coalition's disclaimer names Zurich American Insurance Company (NAIC 16535) as the admitted carrier for Executive Risks, and says Coalition Insurance Solutions, Inc. also places Executive Risks with unaffiliated insurers on a non-admitted basis, so the carrier for a specific fiduciary policy depends on the placement route. ¹⁰Company-reported.

Coalition says Executive Risks products, including fiduciary liability, are available to private and not-for-profit U.S. organizations in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with up to $500 million in assets, up to 1,000 employees, and up to $500 million in plan assets. ⁹Company-reported. Executive Risks FAQ as read on 2026-09-23; the plan-assets cap is directly relevant to fiduciary eligibility.

Beazley explains that fiduciary liability protects the individuals responsible for running employee benefit plans, such as health plans, pension plans and 401(k) accounts, from personal liability if a claim is made against the plan, a personal exposure the page says many plan sponsors don't realize they have. ⁵Company-reported. Fiduciary product page description; exclusions and conditions are set by the issued policy.

The policy includes statutory-claim sublimits of US $250,000 for claims under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, ERISA Section 502(c), Internal Revenue Code Section 4975 and the PPACA, plus a separate US $1,000,000 sublimit for HIPAA claims and up to US $1,000,000 in coverage for HIPAA civil fines. ⁵Company-reported. Fiduciary product page sublimit list; these sublimits sit inside, and are lower than, the overall policy limit.

Beazley includes "omnibus" pension and welfare plan language (intended to automatically cover newly created or acquired benefit plans), a US $25,000 sublimit for IRS and DOL voluntary compliance programs other than HIPAA, and settlor-capacity protection now written into the fiduciary insuring clauses. ⁵Company-reported. Fiduciary product page feature list; actual plan-coverage scope depends on the issued policy wording.

Coalition says fiduciary liability provides coverage for claims of mismanagement of employee benefits and pension plans. ⁹Company-reported. Executive Risks product page as read on 2026-09-23; exclusions and limitations apply per the page footer, and the issued policy controls actual terms.

Beazley advertises fiduciary limits up to US $20 million, with an optional additional defense limit available; the statutory sublimits described above apply within that overall limit. ⁵Company-reported. Advertised maximum capacity, not a guaranteed quote amount.

Coalition says limits up to $10 million per coverage line may be available for Executive Risks products, including fiduciary liability, subject to exclusions and limitations. ⁹Company-reported. Executive Risks FAQ as read on 2026-09-23; not a quoted or bindable limit for any specific applicant.

Fiduciary policyholders get free access to BeazleySure, Beazley's online risk-management platform, which the Fiduciary page describes as providing loss-prevention content on employee-benefits topics. ⁵Company-reported. Fiduciary product page service description; actual entitlements depend on the policy purchased.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

The Fiduciary page lists a downloadable ExecuGuard application as its Tools & Resources item, rather than a fiduciary-only application, indicating fiduciary coverage is typically quoted together with the combined ExecuGuard package. ⁵Company-reported. Fiduciary product page Tools & Resources section as read on 2026-09-23.

Coalition distributes Executive Risks, including fiduciary liability, only through appointed insurance brokers rather than direct to buyers. ⁹Company-reported. Executive Risks product page as read on 2026-09-23.

Beazley says fiduciary policyholders get pre-approved choice-of-counsel flexibility, but the reviewed page does not otherwise describe fiduciary-specific claims handling beyond that; general policy notice and claims-contact guidance is provided on Beazley's separate claims-notification page. ⁵Company-reported. Fiduciary product page as read on 2026-09-23; claims-handling quality is not independently assessed.
