CNA Pro Enhances Its Fiduciary Liability Solutions Policy.

CHICAGO -- The Open Brokerage unit of CNA announces a coverage enhancement targeted to meet the fiduciary insurance needs of the marketplace. The state-of-the-art Fiduciary Liability Solutions policy form provides insurance on a standalone basis and includes some of the most current coverages available in the marketplace.

The new Fiduciary Liability Solutions form has been developed in response to recent scrutiny on the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation and the prevalence of tag-along securities and ERISA claims in conjunction with directors and officers coverage. Highlights of this new form include improved terms; expanded definitions; and a reduction in the exclusions.

This is the latest enhancement in the evolution of Open Brokerage's product suite. Prior efforts have included Side A coverage, Management Liability Solutions (an enhanced D&O form), and EPL Solutions. Further announcements are scheduled to highlight Management Liability/EPL for Law Firms, as well as Management Liability for Private Equity Firms, Hedge Funds, and Real Estate Investment Trusts.
