New to fiduciary liability

We'll explain what it typically covers, what it leaves out, and what contracts or landlords commonly ask for — in plain English, no pressure.

Switching or reshopping

Already have a policy? Upload it. We'll review the limits, exclusions, and wording, compare the market, and tell you straight whether it's worth a move — same coverage, no gap.

Is this you?

These are the moments it’s built for.

Fiduciary liability is a practical coverage layer for businesses with this exposure. Riza helps you understand what the policy is supposed to do, where it stops, and how it should connect to the rest of your insurance stack.

01

You offer retirement, health, or other employee benefit plans.

02

Leadership or HR selects vendors or plan options.

03

Employees could claim plan mismanagement.

04

You want protection beyond an ERISA bond.

What’s covered

What it helps cover.

The moments this policy typically steps in for — in plain English, before the policy language.

Claims alleging breach of fiduciary duty.

Errors in benefit plan administration.

Defense costs for covered fiduciary claims.

Certain penalties or correction programs when available.

Protection for plan trustees, administrators, and the company.

Coverage varies by policy form, carrier, limits, exclusions, and the facts of the claim. We review the wording with you before recommending anything.

Where it stops

What sits in another policy.

No policy covers everything. Here’s where this one usually stops — and what typically picks up from there.

Each line links to the coverage that usually responds. None of these are recommendations by themselves — what you need depends on the business and the contracts.

In real life

Here’s how it actually plays out.

Scenario · 01

Employees allege excessive retirement plan fees.

Scenario · 02

A benefits enrollment error causes a coverage dispute.

Scenario · 03

Plan participants challenge investment selection.

Scenario · 04

A required plan notice is missed.

Coverage depends on the policy form, carrier, limits, endorsements, exclusions, and facts of the claim. Riza reviews the details before recommending a policy.

Pricing usually depends on the industry, size, location, limits, claims history, contract requirements, and underwriting details specific to the coverage line.
