Beazley vs THREE by Berkshire Hathaway: How Do They Compare for 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.

THREE presents Fiduciary Liability as a component of its combined Business Owners Policy rather than identifying it as a separate standalone policy on the reviewed product page. ⁸Company-reported. Company-described U.S. package structure. The page does not establish underwriting terms or that every listed category will be included for every applicant.

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.

The linked sample policy's declarations identify Berkshire Hathaway Direct Insurance Company as issuer. ⁷Company-reported. This is the issuer named on the public sample only; the sample does not establish the issuing entity for every state-specific quote or buyer's issued policy.

The reviewed product page does not state separate eligibility rules for Fiduciary Liability; the general quote and advisor route is not proof that a particular business qualifies for it. ^8,6Not publicly disclosed. Eligibility and state availability remain unestablished for an individual risk until THREE returns its quote and applicable forms.

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, 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.

THREE's Business Owners Policy page lists Fiduciary Liability among its marketed coverage categories in the combined policy. This describes the product page, not whether the category appears in a particular quote or responds to a loss. ^8,7Company-reported. Official THREE package marketing for Fiduciary Liability. The sample policy is state-selectable and does not establish that this item is included in every quote or issued policy.

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.

The reviewed public product page does not state a separate limit or deductible for Fiduciary Liability; THREE says the quote-specific insurance summary lists limits and deductibles. ^8,7Not publicly disclosed. No number is inferred from the sample policy. The quote and issued declarations control the buyer-specific limit and deductible.

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 Fiduciary page lists a downloadable ExecuGuard application as its Tools & Resources item, rather than a fiduciary-only application. ⁵Company-reported. Fiduciary product page Tools & Resources section as read on 2026-09-23.

THREE directs small-business prospects to an online quote and says licensed Small Business Advisors can help with the process. ⁶Company-reported. This is the route for the overall THREE product. It does not show whether Fiduciary Liability will be offered for a particular business or whether a customer can bind that line without an issued policy.

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.
