Make the request specific.
Hedge’s preparation guidance for this type of placement:
- Identify the division, product and underlying business exposure for the request.
- Clarify admitted requirements and any underlying coverage needed for an excess placement.
Include the named insured, locations, requested lines and limits, effective date, existing applications and available loss information. Start with what you have; the team can identify what is missing.
Check the details that change the fit.
