NEW UMBRELLA PROGRAM UPDATES
February 23, 2011
First, we at KDIS want to thank you for your continued support, it is greatly appreciated. We are pleased to announce that we have a new Umbrella Carrier.
Our new program is through XL Insurance program, underwritten by Greenwhich Insurance, an XL Group company. XL is an A rated carrier by all of the rating companies from AM Best to S&P. Equally as important is that each of the rating companies has assigned them with a Stable outlook by AM Best; A (Stable) by S&P; A2 (Stable) by Moody’s and A (Stable) by Fitch.
With our new tier rating most associations will see much more competitive quotes compared to the previous Zurich Program. We will no longer offer Zurich Umbrella quotes.
XL will be offering the same limits of $5,000,000; $10,000,000; $15,000,000, $25,000,000 and $50,000,000.
Again, everyone at KDIS want to thank you for your continued support and we look forward to working together with you in the future.
