HUB International vs Newfront Management Liability Insurance

HUB brokers management liability coverage through its ProEx Professional & Executive Risk practice, packaging lines such as D&O, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability under an Executive Liability umbrella rather than underwriting any of them itself. ⁴Company-reported. ProEx page coverage list, read 2026-09-23; the page does not name an issuing insurer for any listed line.

Newfront describes management liability as a defined line of business within its Executive Risk practice, led by Deirdre Finn, who it says oversees the company's management-liability lines: D&O liability, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability. Newfront brokers and negotiates these coverages; it does not underwrite them. ⁹Company-reported. Executive Risk page leadership bio.

HUB says ProEx places more than $2 billion in premium, which it says improves carrier negotiations, but does not name the insurers that issue management liability policies through the practice. ⁴Company-reported. ProEx page market-leverage statement; the carrier for a specific placement depends on the quote.

The reviewed page does not name an insurer for management-liability placements; as a broker, Newfront says it negotiates coverage and claims on the client's behalf, so the issuing carrier varies by placement. ⁹Not found in reviewed sources.
