CriteriaCFC CrimeCoalition Executive Risks — Crime Insurance

Issuing 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 crime policy depends on the placement route. 13Company-reported.
