Fiduciary Liability Insurance

Home › Commercial Insurance › Fiduciary Liability Insurance

Any company that provides employee benefits may be held responsible for mismanagement, according to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). ERISA regulates several different types of benefits including retirement plans, health and life insurance, disability insurance, and profit sharing plans – and establishes minimum standards for these benefits. A fiduciary liability insurance policy protects your business from mismanagement claims and liabilities tied to fiduciary roles.

Fiduciary Liability Insurance Coverage

A fiduciary liability policy covers the legal costs associated with benefits mismanagement and other breaches of fiduciary duty. Any relationship between two parties where one acts in the interest of the other is considered a “fiduciary duty.” Examples of common fiduciary liability claims include:

Investor reviewing portfolio

  • Plan administration failure
  • Conflicts of interest
  • Lack of investment diversity
  • Improper counsel
  • Wrongful denial or changes in benefit plans
  • Failure to monitor third-party service providers

This type of policy is different from an employee benefits liability insurance policy, which only covers administrative errors such as failure to enroll.

Who Should Acquire A Fiduciary Liability Policy?

Businesses of all sizes that offer employee benefits such as retirement plans and health insurance are strongly advised to obtain a fiduciary liability policy. Companies and individuals in the following industries and professions will especially benefit from acquiring such a policy:

  • Law firms
  • Financial services firms
  • Government agencies
  • Legal guardians of children

What Does Fiduciary Liability Not Cover?

Employee stealing money from companyFiduciary liability insurance policies do not cover theft or fraudulent acts. Claims covered by these types of actions would generally be covered by an ERISA fidelity bond.

A fiduciary liability policy also does not typically include errors & omissions coverage; this type of coverage exists as a separate policy and is specifically designed to cover incidents regarding a company’s clients, not its employees.

What Does Fiduciary Liability Insurance Cost?

The cost of a fiduciary liability insurance policy generally depends on several factors, including:

  • Your company’s size (number of employees)
  • The amount of benefit plan assets your company manages
  • Your policy’s limits
  • Quality of service providers

Depending on the type of error committed and the total plan assets your company has under management, lawsuits can take a severe financial toll on your organization. Therefore, be sure to avoid unnecessary risks and purchase a fiduciary liability policy.
