Insurance Solution

High Limit Disability Insurance

When your client's hands, legs or taste buds are the key components to their craft and ultimate success, how can you help protect them from unforeseen injuries or debilitating diseases? First off, you start by protecting the WHOLE body. If your client is a super star guitarist and suffers a stroke, the insurance policy for his hands will not provide financial relief during recovery.

Caught up in all the glitz and glamour, it’s easy for advisors to overlook how the powerful resources of Lloyd’s of London can protect their best "non-celebrity" clients as well. Lloyd’s is a solution that aids in the protection of those who have purchased “maximum” disability benefits from a US carrier and remain underinsured.

As a Lloyd's of London Coverholder, Exceptional Risk Advisors designs High Limit Disability Income policies for high income earners such as CEOs, hedge fund managers, private equity professionals, technology experts, and of course, entertainers and professional athletes.

In this case, the client had a rich group LTD plan, however, with over 100 of the firm's asset managers and executives earning over $1 million annually, there was a significant gap in their income protection plan. We worked with a domestic carrier to simultaneously enroll the supplemental IDI piece and the Lloyd's piece for those who qualified.
