Executive Edge®

We set the standard for primary public company D&O coverage.  We've raised the bar with Executive Edge®, the next generation of public company D&O.

Executive Edge provides market leading features like advancement of covered loss for directors and officers when the company fails or refuses to indemnify for any reason, worldwide investigation coverage and a simplified "entity vs. insured" exclusion in place of the "insured vs. insured" exclusion.

Features and Benefits Back To Top
  • Advancement of Loss responds to the uncertainties of corporate indemnification, unlike traditional insurance programs, by stepping in on covered claims when companies refuse or otherwise fail, for any reason, to provide advancement or indemnification to their directors and officers
  • Coverage for Investigations of individual insureds and new market-leading coverage for informal “inquiries” is essential in the new age of post-crisis, post-Madoff enforcement and derivative investigations
  • Three-pronged response to executives’ concerns that their coverage could be jeopardized by the behavior of others:
    -  Full Severability of Exclusions for individual insureds
    -  Claim Cooperation Severability
    -  “Entity vs. Insured” Exclusion replaces “Insured vs. Insured” exclusion
  • An Executive Protection Suite integrates key extensions for personal asset and reputation protection
  • Liberty Cost Coverage and expanded investigations cost coverage for legal services incurred by insured persons detained or imprisoned abroad due to their business activities. Insureds have the support they need, even absent a claim.
  • Global Liberalization, when combined with the broad global footprint of Chartis, delivers real cross-border coverage like no other insurer can.
