3 Nonprofit Sector Directors & Officers Liability 2017 Market Update Nonprofit Sector Management Liability Commentary 2017 Perspective (printed from Gallagher s Nonprofit Sector 2017 Perspective) As the U.S. economy continues to recover, so too have many of our nonprofit clients. Nonprofit D&O markets are generally seeing marginal rate changes from -1% to 2%, whereas previously rate increases ranged from to 5% when there was no change in financial condition, exposures or losses. Given the broad entity coverage provided under nonprofit D&O policy forms, insurers often find themselves paying both more and more expensive claims, leading them to be especially concerned with the implications of increasing claim frequency and the long tail associated with these claims. Market pressures, primarily due to significant D&O capacity, have continued to abate these concerns and bring downward pressure on D&O rates. In addition to the softening pricing for D&O, we have seen many coverage enhancements; some carriers are providing zerodollar retentions on D&O Sides B&C for smaller nonprofits. There has also been a higher frequency of automatic renewals and multi-year policy terms in the small to mid-market space for lower risk and financially stable insureds. For larger and more complex insureds, underwriters are more disciplined, remaining committed to fully understand the operations of the organization and the leadership of the organization during the quoting process. More discussions are also being held with clients regarding the implications of security and privacy liability on D&O as the frequency of cyber liability claims has increased. A cyber claim can cross over into D&O when there are allegations that the directors and officers did not put the proper safeguards or coverage into place. In addition, there are more first-time buyers of D&O due to the heightened awareness of this coverage and the fact that smaller organizations are more able to afford it. A number of carriers have begun to add a cyber module to their management liability package to address these concerns about D&O and cyber crossover claims. Some classes of business have become more difficult to place, specifically faith-based organizations or houses of worship. Churches and other religious groups tend to have community outreach programs that perform a variety of services which present a challenge to D&O underwriters. So overall, more markets are entering the nonprofit D&O space. The ACE acquisition of Chubb served to drop the available capacity for primary nonprofit D&O, but other carriers have stepped up and are competing for primary D&O layers. Capacity is not a problem in the current market. The overabundance of capacity has made excess pricing for higher D&O limits quite attractive. Many of our clients are doing analysis of their exposure to determine limits adequacy. We can assist you with this analysis by providing you with proprietary loss modeling and peer data. Barring any unforeseen circumstances or events, we are anticipating that 2017 will bring minimal rate changes (-1% to 2%) with no changes in the entity s exposure and less stringent underwriting guidelines for lower-risk insureds. Coverage will remain strong and should even improve in most cases. Organizations with past or current claims and/or financial distress should get out to market early and provide a comprehensive submission for delivery to alternative D&O carriers.
