Insurance Solution
Key Person Disability
Investors invest in a particular fund based largely on performance, which is attributed to the CEO. In the event of a serious disability, such as in the case of Mr. Carney, cash would be needed to retrain key staff, find a replacement, and manage any winding down of the fund as a result of the unfortunate news. Risk managers need to evaluate the risk to key personnel and c-suite executives by looking at how they are leveraged against the success of the company. What is the potential impact should they not be able to perform their duties. Ask yourself: If that person left in the middle of the night, who could successfully run the company? And what would be the cost to replace that person from outside if there were no one in place in-house? As Lloyd's of London Coverholders, Exceptional Risk Advisors specializes in writing high limit key person disability for private and public organizations. Benefit limits for key person protection are available in excess of $100 million per person and are most commonly purchased in conjunction with a large life insurance transaction.
