Ryan Specialty Group’s ThinkRisk and Aspen US Insurance Announce New Management Liability Insurance Program for Private Companies and Non-Profit Organizations
October 28, 2013, NEW YORK, NY – ThinkRisk Underwriting Agency (“ThinkRisk”), a division of RSG Underwriting Managers, LLC, and Aspen US Insurance (“Aspen”) announced today the launch of a new national management liability package program. The product is available on an admitted basis in most states and offers multiple coverage lines for a wide variety of private companies and non-profit organizations. This new policy suite will have the ability to offer Directors & Officers, Employment Practices, Fiduciary, Employed Lawyers and Crime coverage.
Raymond Hannan, Senior Vice President, US Underwriting Manager for Management Liability, Aspen, commented: “There has been noticeable market dislocation in recent months and we believe this is an opportune time for a fresh, nimble market with no legacy issues and deep underwriting expertise to bring innovative coverage solutions to brokers and their private company and non-profit clients.”
The new product was designed with many competitive coverage advantages to provide more comprehensive coverage solutions for private companies and non-profit organizations. A key differentiator is that every eligible management liability quote will also include a bind-able [in]TELLIGENCE℠ quote with separate, stand-alone policy limits. [in]TELLIGENCE℠ is a state of the art admitted media/cyber/privacy product offered by Think Risk and Aspen, which was announced earlier this year.
ThinkRisk’s President, Nicole Haggerty, noted: “We are excited to be able to provide a bind-able quote for both the management liability and the [in]TELLIGENCE℠ products from the management liability submission. We believe the ability to provide multiple products via a single point of entry will differentiate the Think Risk/Aspen partnership in the marketplace.”
The new management liability package program will be offered nationwide via a select group of approved producers who have demonstrated expertise in the management liability sector. Both the management liability package program and [in]TELLIGENCE℠ policy are supported by robust risk management, loss control and policyholder services.
