Key Differences in D&O Insurance

Who Issues the Policy

Coalition designs D&O inside Executive Risks and sells it only through appointed brokers rather than direct to buyers. Vouch is a broker, not an insurer, and lists D&O among core coverages for technology clients. 4 10

Coalition names Zurich American as the admitted Executive Risks carrier and also places the suite non-admitted. Corix, a Vouch program partner, says its management-liability products are issued by State National Insurance Company or United Specialty Insurance Company — that names an insurer for Corix-branded D&O, not for every Vouch placement. 5 12

Who the Offering Is Built For

Coalition says Executive Risks D&O is available to private and not-for-profit U.S. organizations with up to $500 million in assets, up to 1,000 employees, and up to $500 million in plan assets. Vouch’s reviewed sources do not publish those size caps. 4 10

Vouch markets D&O to technology companies from early-stage through IPO, and Corix markets management liability, including D&O, to private and small-to-low-middle-market businesses. Coalition’s reviewed sources do not describe an IPO-stage technology D&O path. 10 11 4

Published Limits

Coalition says limits up to $10 million per coverage line may be available for Executive Risks, including D&O. Neither Vouch nor Corix publish D&O policy limits or retentions, so a buyer comparing the two has a Coalition figure to check against a blank on the Vouch side until a quote arrives. 4 11

What to Confirm in D&O Insurance Quotes

  • Ask Coalition whether the quote is admitted Zurich American paper or a non-admitted unaffiliated insurer. Keep Coalition’s Zurich-or-surplus route next to Vouch’s Corix issuers. 5

  • Ask Vouch whether the placement is a Corix-branded product issued by State National or United Specialty, or another market. 12

  • Confirm you sit inside Coalition’s asset, employee and plan-asset maxima, or whether Vouch is quoting an IPO-stage technology program. 4 10

  • Get dollar limits from Vouch, which the public pages do not show, and compare them with Coalition’s $10 million per-line figure. 11 4

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 D&O policy depends on the placement route. 5Company-reported. U.S. Disclaimers page as read on 2026-09-23.

Corix's disclosures say its proprietary products, including its management liability line, are issued by State National Insurance Company or United Specialty Insurance Company. That names an insurer for Corix-branded D&O products specifically, not for every Vouch D&O placement. 12Company-reported. Corix disclosures page.

Corix says its management liability coverage is meant to preserve corporate and personal assets against allegations from stakeholders, employees, competitors or regulators, and to fund a defense so leaders and the business can respond to claims without exhausting cash flow, even when a claim is ultimately dismissed. 11Company-reported. Corix's management liability product page; actual insuring agreements and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

Limits and Retentions
