Discuss claims alleging errors in the administration or oversight of employee benefit plans.
Defence & policy terms
Review insured persons, plan definitions, defence costs, exclusions, and reporting conditions.
Related management cover
Compare fiduciary cover with D&O, employee benefits liability, and other policies.

Good questions.
Worth asking.
Does a fidelity bond replace fiduciary liability insurance?
They serve different purposes. Have the plan’s advisers identify applicable bonding obligations and the separate allegations you want fiduciary liability protection to address.
Does outsourcing administration remove fiduciary responsibility?
Do not assume that. Ask qualified plan advisers which duties remain with the sponsor and ask the insurer how outsourced services are treated.
Can Canadian and U.S. plan requirements be treated alike?
No. Identify the governing jurisdiction and plan type, then obtain advice on the relevant duties and insurance or bonding arrangements.
