November 2009 The Fiduciary Shield, "Benefit Plan Protection: What Insurance Policies Are Needed?"
Abstract
Experience has shown that benefit plans can face a wide range of potential legal claims and that comprehensive protection requires more than one type of insurance coverage. This publication discusses some common claims involving three insurance policies that can protect benefit plans, their trustees, fund office staff and, by endorsement, agreed-upon people or entities: fidelity bonds, fiduciary liability insurance and employment practice liability insurance.
