Beazley vs Embroker Fiduciary Liability Insurance

Embroker targets companies that provide medical, dental, vision or other benefits, or that offer retirement plans or stock options, and says very small businesses without benefit plans generally don't need the coverage. ⁹Company-reported. Product-page eligibility description; not a guarantee of coverage for a particular business.

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.

Embroker lists coverage for errors and omissions in administering benefit plans and imprudent selection of investments or third-party service providers, and says most newly created or acquired plans get automatic coverage. ⁹Company-reported. Product-page What's covered section; the issued policy and declarations control.

Embroker says the policy excludes criminal activity such as embezzlement, outside advisors or administrators hired to manage the benefit plans, and failure to fund a plan in accordance with ERISA. ⁹Company-reported. Product-page What's not included section.

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.

Embroker says fiduciary liability premiums typically range from $500 to $2,500 per year and that policies can cover as much as $20 million, driven mainly by total plan assets under management, the policy limit and the quality of service providers. ⁹Company-reported. Product-page 'What does Fiduciary Liability cost?' section; actual pricing and limits depend on underwriting.

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.

The reviewed fiduciary liability page does not describe dedicated risk-control or plan-administration review services beyond general references to the Embroker Resource Hub and chat support. ⁹Not found in reviewed sources. Product page as read on 2026-09-23.

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.

Embroker offers an online quote for fiduciary liability through its digital platform. ⁹Company-reported. Product-page 'Quick quotes' feature description; no quote was requested during this research.

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.
