That is a very good point Mark. We all need to do that type of thing as much as possible. It is one way we can say thanks to Sam.

I know I'm looking at NAPA and Calsurance how else offers a decent policy for Life & Health fixed and fixed indexed annuites, DI, Med Sup and MA coverage must be covered (I know I don't focus on the MA market and many have seen my posts about it I just want to be covered for everything my license allows me to sell in case things change.)
E&O for less/Marsh is good. And its nice not being tied to a carrier appointment.
A bit more comprehensive option would be a policy through NAILBA who uses Everest to underwrite it.
I used the Aurthor J Galligher agency with a referral discount from Chittenden Group.
This link tells you about the discount code to use.
This link actually links to the policy info and online app.
I like this option because it clearly states that it covers Financial Planning and Tax Advice that is incidental to the sale of your products.
It also covers NQDC which I need.
Thanks for the link, I feel much more comfortable with this option, even if it costs an extra $230 per year. I like that it states coverage from employee benefits, deferred comp, and incidential financial planning related to the sale.
I do dislike paying E&O premiums, mine are over $3,200 per year. $2,500 per year through my B/D, however, they only cover carriers approved by them and at a $50,000 deductible. I am completely on my own for the deductible and any outside carriers I use, which is a substantial part of my business due to the employee benefits arm. Hopefully I never have to use it.
Norwayguy said:Holy Crap....and I thought the $5k deductible on my last B/Ds E&O sucked...That and the B/D as a whole only had like $20 million of aggregate coverage so a bad branch could wipe out the whole B/Ds coverage.
What is b/d?????????????
Broker/Dealer. Their reps' E&O is typically much higher (due to securities transactions) and often does not cover "outside business activities" like fixed insurance and annuities not written through the B/D.
There is a lot of money in that E&O. I really wonder just how much is a kickback sometimes.
Just an example. One company boasts a field force of 4,000+ agents. Let's assume 3,000 are securities registered. At one time, the E&O was $120/mo for $1,440 a year for a total of $4,320,000 in premium. I doubt claims are anywhere near that high or FINRA would have been all over the company.
Nothing would surprise me when it comes to working with some of these B/Ds...
