Role in This Line

Travelers underwrites D&O liability insurance as part of its Management & Professional Liability line, sold standalone or alongside other management liability coverages. 4Company-reported. Product page general framing; confirmed against the broader Management and Professional Liability Insurance page.

Vouch is a broker, not an insurer, for D&O coverage. It lists D&O among the core coverages it places for technology clients, and one of its named program partners, Corix, has a dedicated management liability product that includes D&O. 9,10Company-reported. Vouch's Technology page and Corix's management liability product page.

Issuing Insurer

The product page's video disclosures name Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America and its property casualty affiliates; the specific issuing entity for a given policy can vary. 4Company-reported. Product page video legal footer.

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. 11Company-reported. Corix disclosures page.

Who It’s For

Travelers markets D&O coverage to private companies, public companies, financial institutions and nonprofit organizations with boards of directors, and offers a version specifically for nonprofit organizations. 4Company-reported. Product page "Who is D&O liability insurance right for?" section and nonprofit D&O video segment.

Vouch markets D&O to technology companies from early-stage through IPO, saying programs are designed to build investor confidence and support long-term growth plans; Corix separately markets management liability, including D&O, to private and small-to-low-middle-market businesses, not only public companies. 9,10Company-reported. Vouch's Technology page and Corix's management liability page.

Coverage Features

Travelers says D&O insurance protects directors and officers from personal losses if sued by employees, vendors, customers or other parties, covering defense costs, settlements and other costs from wrongful-act allegations such as securities litigation, regulatory actions and breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims. 4Company-reported. Product page introduction and "Travelers knows Directors & Officers Liability Insurance" section; exact terms and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

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. 10Company-reported. Corix's management liability product page; actual insuring agreements and exclusions are set by the issued policy.

Limits and Retentions

The reviewed page does not publish D&O limits, retentions or premiums; it references illustrative claim examples (settlements and defense costs from roughly $85,000 to over $1 million) as general risk context, not as policy terms. 4Not found in reviewed sources. Product page video claim scenarios as read on 2026-09-23.
