Fiduciary Liability

Coverage for ERISA and employee benefit plan exposures.

Fiduciary liability exposures can arise from the management, oversight, and administration of employee benefit plans. Old Republic Professional provides Fiduciary Liability coverage for organizations and plan fiduciaries facing claims related to ERISA and employee benefit plan responsibilities.

Underwriting Approach

Old Republic Professional works with brokers to evaluate fiduciary exposures based on plan type, plan assets, oversight process, and coverage structure. Our underwriting approach is designed to support organizations with defined contribution and defined benefit plan exposures, with primary and excess capacity available based on the risk and attachment point.

Fiduciary coverage is available on a standalone basis or as part of broader management liability programs, including ORPROtect and InvestPRO. This allows brokers to address plan-related exposures within the context of the organization’s overall management liability placement.
