What really makes Encore different is that we are experts who have the authority and ability to make responsive and responsible decisions. The Encore difference is that trustees and professionals facing personal liability can talk to a decision maker directly. We do not have layers of bureaucracy in underwriting and claims departments.
Our underwriters have decades of experience in underwriting complex fiduciary liability risks. Our Claims Department is staffed with attorneys with law firm coverage experience and expertise. We have participated in the major fiduciary liability claims in the last 25 years, including the Capital Consultants, City of Detroit and Madoff imprudent investment claims, as well as numerous high-profile Department of Labor fiduciary liability investigations. Not only do our claims lawyers understand complex fiduciary claims, but we are also responsive and understand litigation and claims strategy for complex claims.
Encore Fiduciary is a team of professionals who are personally invested in protecting trustees and other professionals against personal liability.
A Fiduciary Liability insurance policy is designed to protect plan trustees, other fiduciaries and the employee benefit plan against claims alleging breach of their fiduciary duties to the plan or claims alleging they committed an error in the administration of the plan. The policy provides two important basic benefits: defense and indemnity.
ENCORE Fiduciary is obsessively focused on fiduciary risk. Our singular focus on fiduciary risks allows us to provide better insurance protection and a superior level of underwriting and claims service for our policyholders.
