CFC vs Embroker Management Liability Insurance

CFC sells directors and officers, employment practices, fiduciary and crime coverage together in one US Management Liability package rather than as separate standalone products. CFC separately sells Side A DIC, an excess product for directors and officers only. ^5,6Company-reported. CFC's US management-liability product page and January 2026 brochure; package composition as CFC describes it, not an issued policy.

Embroker designed EMIS as its own bundled management liability product, sold either as a bundle or as individual coverages, and distributes it directly to founders and finance leaders as well as through its broker network via Embroker Access. ¹¹Company-reported. August 2026 launch announcement; company description of the product structure.

CFC's regulatory page discloses that CFC Underwriting Limited is FCA-authorized and that CFC's Lloyd's Syndicate 1988 is managed by Asta Managing Agency Ltd, but the reviewed management-liability pages do not name the specific carrier or syndicate that would issue a given US package. ^4,6Not publicly disclosed. Regulatory information page and management-liability brochure as read on 2026-09-23; the insurer identified on an actual quote or declarations page controls.

Embroker names Everspan Indemnity Insurance Company (AM Best: A- Excellent) as the underwriter of EMIS, backed by what Embroker describes as a coalition of A-rated reinsurers it does not name. ¹¹Company-reported. Launch announcement's 'About Embroker' section; this is a company statement, not an independently verified filing or program agreement.

CFC's brochure lists California-domiciled business and US publicly traded companies among the risks it declines for this package, and lists industries it favors, including manufacturing and distribution, technology, professional services, architects and engineers, and non-profits. ⁶Company-reported. Brochure's 'What we like' and 'What we decline' lists; underwriting still applies to any individual business, and the list is not exhaustive.

Embroker says EMIS is open to a broader set of private companies than its two prior management liability products, extending beyond technology into professional services, manufacturing, construction and wholesale trade, and covering companies from pre-revenue startups to established businesses. ¹¹Company-reported. Launch announcement 'What's changing' section; the Tech E&O/Cyber component of the bundle is limited to eligible technology companies.

CFC describes the package as covering directors and officers liability, employment practices liability, fiduciary liability, crime, executive cyber, kidnap and ransom, and executive reputation protection, plus court attendance costs. ^5,6Company-reported. Brochure's opening description and 'What else is in the policy?' list; the actual policy wording and any endorsements control what a given buyer receives.

Embroker bundles four coverages into one EMIS application: directors and officers liability, employment practices liability, fiduciary liability, and technology errors and omissions/cyber liability for eligible technology companies, and lets buyers select individual coverages or the full bundle. ¹¹Company-reported. Launch announcement coverage list; the issued policy and declarations control, and this is the bundle structure, not standalone-line policy wording.

Embroker says EMIS replaces its two previous management liability products for new business; existing policyholders on the legacy products are not required to switch and can keep renewing them, but the legacy products are no longer sold to new customers. ¹¹Company-reported. Launch announcement transition rules as of the announcement date; not a renewal guarantee for any individual policyholder.

The reviewed product page and brochure do not publish per-occurrence or aggregate limits, retentions or premium ranges for the package.

CFC's brochure says the executive reputation protection component includes access to its reputation-management specialists, and its claims page describes a claims team organized by industry and specialization rather than by insurance line. ^6,7Company-reported. Brochure and claims page descriptions of CFC's own services; not an independent measure of service quality.

Not described in the reviewed sources.

The reviewed management-liability page and brochure do not describe an online quote or self-service application; they point prospective buyers to CFC's named US Management Liability Team. ⁵Not found in reviewed sources. Product page and brochure as read on 2026-09-23; a broker may have access to a separate application form not reviewed here.

Embroker says EMIS uses a single digital application and underwriting flow covering all four bundled coverages, replacing a multi-application process it says previously took days or weeks, and that applicants may get an underwriting response in the same session. ¹¹Company-reported. Launch announcement description of the application flow; no application was submitted during this research, and actual turnaround depends on the specific submission.

CFC provides a US claim-notification route by phone, email and online form, and says a dedicated claims adjuster manages a claim from notification through resolution. Margaret Murphy is named as Global Head of Claims. ⁷Company-reported. Claims page as read on 2026-09-23; notification channels and role descriptions, not claims-payment outcomes or timing.
