How can risk-adjusted D&O insurance benchmarking benefit your organization?

Traditional benchmarking tells you what limits peers are buying—but not whether those limits are actually sufficient. Without accounting for differences in risk, the numbers are only telling part of the story.

D&O Quantified brings critical context to peer benchmarking.

Risk-adjusted benchmarking goes beyond limits and retentions, providing benchmarks for limit adequacy – how sufficient your peers’ limits are to cover their modeled loss exposure. This limit adequacy is then translated into coverage amounts that are relative to your risk profile.  

So instead of saying that at the 75^th percentile peers buy $100M in limit, you can say:

At the 75th percentile, peers buy limits sufficient to cover 98.5% of their projected D&O losses. To reach that same protection level, based on our risk profile, we would need $137M in coverage.

This approach puts benchmarking into context, helping you assess coverage needs based on the risk you actually face.

Which organizations can benefit from D&O Quantified?

D&O Quantified is designed for publicly traded companies of all sizes and in all geographies.

This tool is not designed to evaluate smaller local D&O policies required for regulatory reasons. Our Employment Practices Quantified model can assess D&O loss potential and evaluate insurance for privately held and nonprofit organizations.
