Key Differences in Management Liability Insurance

Broker Advice Versus a Named Package

CFC sells directors and officers, employment practices, fiduciary and crime together in one US Management Liability package, and separately sells Side A DIC. Marsh’s FINPRO practice advises companies on management liability as an umbrella of related executive-risk products rather than as a single policy. A buyer is comparing a CFC-described package with a Marsh placement conversation. 5 12 13

US Brochure Versus UK Practice Page

CFC’s product page and January 2026 brochure describe that United States package. Marsh’s dedicated management-liability page resolves to an en-gb path, so the team and product list on that page reflect a UK FINPRO practice. Whether a US Marsh placement would look the same is not established by the reviewed Marsh pages. 5 6 12

Who They Say They Serve

CFC’s brochure lists California-domiciled business and US publicly traded companies among the risks it declines for this package. Marsh says the FINPRO management-liability team advises companies of all sizes. Those are different kinds of statements: a decline list versus a size claim, not two matching underwriting screens. 6 12

How You Start

The reviewed CFC management-liability page does not describe an online quote; it points prospective buyers to CFC’s named US Management Liability Team. You engage a Marsh or MMA financial and professional liability specialist directly; the reviewed Marsh pages describe advisor-led placement rather than a self-serve quote. 5 13 14

What to Confirm in Management Liability Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Marsh whether the work is a US placement or follows the UK FINPRO list (D&O, EPL, pension trustee liability, public-offering insurance). 12
  • Check CFC’s California-domicile and US public-company decline list against your facts. 6
  • Get the issuing carrier from both; neither reviewed management-liability record names the US issuer. 4 13
  • Confirm which coverages Marsh would actually place next to CFC’s described package parts. 12 6

Role in This Line

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.

Marsh's FINPRO (financial and professional) practice advises companies on management liability coverage, which Marsh's Financial & Professional Liability page frames as an umbrella term covering related executive-risk products rather than a single policy. 12Company-reported. The management-liability page resolves to Marsh's en-gb (UK) site path, so its described team and product list (pension trustee liability, public offering of securities insurance) reflect a UK FINPRO practice rather than a confirmed US program.

Issuing Insurer

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.

The reviewed pages do not name a specific management liability insurer. 12,13Not publicly disclosed. UK FINPRO management liability page and Marsh's Financial & Professional Liability page as read on 2026-09-23.

Who It’s For

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.

Marsh says the FINPRO management liability team advises companies of all sizes on their management liability cover. 12Company-reported. UK FINPRO management liability page.

Coverage Features

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.

Marsh's UK management liability page lists directors and officers liability, employment practices liability, pension trustee liability, coverage for private equity owned portfolio companies, and public offering of securities insurance as its areas of expertise under this practice. 12Company-reported. UK FINPRO management liability page; the mix of products may differ for a US placement.

Limits and Retentions

The reviewed product page and brochure do not publish per-occurrence or aggregate limits, retentions or premium ranges for the package. The reviewed pages checked did not disclose these figures. 6Not publicly disclosed. Product page and brochure as read on 2026-09-23; limits and deductibles appear on the quote and declarations.

Risk Services

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.

How to Apply

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.

You engage a Marsh or MMA financial and professional liability specialist directly; the reviewed pages describe advisor-led placement rather than a self-serve quote. 13,14Company-reported. Financial & Professional Liability page and MMA executive and professional liability page.

Claims Support

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.
