As the business world globalizes, employee pensions, benefits and compensation programs are becoming increasingly complex. Anyone who serves as a trustee or who has discretionary authority over a pension, or other employee benefit plan, assumes a certain level of risk.

Fiduciary liability insurance protects benefit plans, the sponsor organization, and individuals acting as fiduciaries or administrators of the plans. The policy covers liabilities arising out of violations of any of the responsibilities, obligations or duties imposed upon fiduciaries by ERISA.
