[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/insurance-providers/alliance-risk/fiduciary) # Alliance Risk Fiduciary Liability Insurance Alliance Risk Fiduciary Liability Insurance Alliance Risk places fiduciary liability coverage as a broker: it reviews a company's current coverage and markets the risk to carriers that specialize in fiduciary liability. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/fiduciary-liability-insurance/ "Fiduciary Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Fiduciary liability product page; Alliance Risk does not underwrite the policy itself.) ## Issuing Insurer - **Not publicly disclosed.** The reviewed fiduciary liability page does not name the insurer that would issue a policy; it says Alliance Risk markets a company's risk to carriers that specialize in fiduciary liability, so the issuing insurer depends on the placement. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/fiduciary-liability-insurance/ "Fiduciary Liability Insurance") (Scope: Fiduciary liability product page as read on 2026-09-23.) ## Who It’s For - Alliance Risk targets fiduciary liability coverage at any employer sponsoring a 401(k), defined benefit pension or health plan, including multi-employer and union plans, nonprofits, sole proprietors and partnerships with plans, and professional groups managing partner retirement plans; it says even plans fully outsourced to a TPA still need fiduciary coverage because the sponsor retains oversight liability. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/fiduciary-liability-insurance/ "Fiduciary Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Fiduciary liability product page; eligibility for a particular company depends on underwriting.) - Alliance Risk says a company should add fiduciary liability coverage when it launches a 401(k) or similar benefit plan, because ERISA fiduciary duty attaches the moment the plan goes live. [2](https://joinalliancerisk.com/management-liability-insurance/ "Management Liability Insurance: How D&O, EPLI, and Fiduciary Fit Together") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Management liability page's program-staging guidance, describing fiduciary liability specifically among the three bundled lines.) ## Coverage Features - Alliance Risk lists legal defense costs, settlements and judgments, and Department of Labor audits and penalties as typically covered, responding to claims such as excessive-fee litigation and imprudent investment selection; it says criminal and fraudulent acts, bodily injury and property damage, and employee dishonesty (covered instead by an ERISA fidelity bond) are excluded. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/fiduciary-liability-insurance/ "Fiduciary Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Fiduciary liability product page; coverage and exclusions described in general terms, subject to the policy as issued.) ## Limits and Retentions - Alliance Risk states standard fiduciary liability deductibles it sees range from $5,000 to $50,000, with smaller, lower-risk plans qualifying for lower deductibles and higher deductibles reducing premium at the cost of more out-of-pocket exposure in a claim. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/fiduciary-liability-insurance/ "Fiduciary Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Fiduciary liability product page FAQ; illustrative range, not a quote for any particular plan.) - Alliance Risk says entry-level management-liability packages that bundle fiduciary liability with D&O and EPLI often share a single aggregate limit, so a large D&O or EPLI settlement earlier in the policy year can reduce what is left for a fiduciary claim; it says a specialist broker structures shared versus separate limits to manage that risk. [2](https://joinalliancerisk.com/management-liability-insurance/ "Management Liability Insurance: How D&O, EPLI, and Fiduciary Fit Together") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Management liability page's discussion of bundled D&O, EPLI and fiduciary programs.) ## Risk Services - Alliance Risk offers a no-charge review of an existing fiduciary liability policy, identifying gaps and exclusion risks and comparing the program to market options. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/fiduciary-liability-insurance/ "Fiduciary Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Fiduciary liability product page, Get Your Fiduciary Liability Risk Review section.) ## How to Apply - For a fiduciary liability quote, Alliance Risk asks for the plan type, number of participants, total assets under management, current coverage and limits, whether an ERISA fidelity bond is in place, and a five-year claims history of DOL audits and participant complaints, and says it typically delivers proposals within a few business days. [1](https://joinalliancerisk.com/fiduciary-liability-insurance/ "Fiduciary Liability Insurance") (Evidence: Company-reported; scope: Fiduciary liability product page, What We Need for Your Quote section; timing is a company estimate, not a guarantee.) ## Claims Support - **Not found in reviewed sources.** The reviewed fiduciary liability page does not describe an Alliance Risk claims-handling or claims-advocacy process; it discusses what a fiduciary liability policy covers rather than how Alliance Risk itself supports a claim.
