Key Differences in Management Liability Insurance

One Package Versus Products You Can Split

CFC sells directors and officers, employment practices, fiduciary and crime together in one US package rather than as separate standalone products, and it separately sells Side A DIC. Travelers underwrites management and professional liability as separately named products that a business can buy standalone or combine on a single policy. You are choosing between a CFC bundle as CFC describes it and a Travelers mix you can keep apart or put on one policy. 5 11

Extra Labels on Each Menu

CFC’s brochure also describes executive cyber, kidnap and ransom, executive reputation protection and court attendance inside that package. Travelers’ suite list adds other named products, including CyberRisk, errors and omissions, nonprofit D&O and financial-institution lines. Matching a quote means checking which of those names actually appear, not assuming the two menus are the same policy. 6 11

Public Companies and Other Buyers

CFC lists US publicly traded companies, and California-domiciled business, among risks it declines for this package. Travelers markets the suite to private companies, public companies, nonprofit organizations, financial institutions and professional services companies of all sizes. A publicly traded buyer is in Travelers’ stated marketing and on CFC’s decline list for this package. 6 11

Limits and How You Apply

The reviewed CFC brochure and Travelers catalogue page do not publish limits or retentions. CFC points prospective buyers to its named US Management Liability Team rather than an online quote. Travelers products in this suite are bought through a Travelers independent agent. 6 5 11
