Beazley Grows in the Fidelity Insurance Market
Protection for financial institutions now available on an admitted basis
NEW YORK, June 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Specialist insurer Beazley (BEZ.L) has broadened its professional liability product range in the US, offering fidelity insurance in the admitted market with limits of up to $25 million for financial institutions.
Fidelity insurance protects financial institutions from loss of money and securities resulting from theft by an organization's own employees. Beazley's coverage is tailored to meet the needs of banks, insurance companies, stockbrokers, and mutual funds and investment management firms with greater than $500 million in assets.
Beazley also offers commercial crime insurance on an admitted basis for non-financial companies with revenues of more than $50 million.
Bill Jennings, underwriter for Beazley's fidelity bond and crime insurance products, said: "Analyzing risks in the fidelity market is getting trickier due to rapid technological advances – which can make employee theft easier and faster - a poor economy and a lack of oversight by regulators. It is important to work with insurance underwriters who can help navigate these perils."
