Questions to resolve before binding.
Use these illustrative scenarios to review a proposal. They are questions to ask, not statements that a loss is covered.
The client keeps its package carrier but needs D&O
Will the proposed monoline product address its organization type, governance and financial condition?
A New York business has a payment-card incident
Which PCI and regulatory provisions are actually offered in its state-specific form?
A benefit-plan administrator is accused of misconduct
Is the issue addressed by fiduciary coverage, employment coverage or neither under the proposed wording?
A better submission starts here.
Hedge’s preparation guidance for this placement:
- Describe the full operation and the core package, auto, employee and mobile-property exposures.
- For management liability, provide organization type, financial statements, governance, employment and benefit-plan information.
- For cyber, identify sensitive data, network dependencies, payment controls and the applicable state; review limits and optional endorsements separately.
Include the named insured, locations, requested lines and limits, effective date, existing applications and available loss information. Start with what you have; we can identify what is missing.

Registration and license details identify an entity and its role. They do not by themselves establish that a particular product, state, limit or account is eligible.
The practical questions.
How do I get a quote with Selective Insurance?
Choose “Get a quote with Selective Insurance” and tell us about your client. Hedge carries your market selection into the submission, helps complete the account and works on the available terms. You can review the proposal before making a coverage decision.
Does this profile confirm my account is eligible?
The published specialties are a starting point. State, business activity, loss history, requested coverage, limits and effective date can change eligibility. The sources used here do not provide a complete state-by-product matrix. The actual proposal and policy forms determine coverage.
Is this an independent rating of Selective Insurance?
No. Hedge is an insurance intermediary and has a commercial interest in helping agents place business. Our commentary explains the placement questions we draw from the cited material. It does not report a customer satisfaction score, firsthand claims experience or an endorsement by Selective Insurance.

What stands out, and why it matters.
Management liability need not follow the package.
Selective says it will consider non-policyholder accounts for monoline management liability. [2]
This makes the product worth examining even when the core package stays elsewhere. Compare coverage and insurer fit on their own merits, and establish which financial and governance information the underwriter needs.
D&O, employment and fiduciary liability protect different duties.
Selective describes these as separate components of its management-liability suite. [2]
Map board decisions, personnel actions and benefit-plan responsibilities individually. A broad management-liability request should identify which parts are required and how their limits and exclusions interact.
Cyber service arrangements and state exceptions deserve attention.
Selective’s cyber page describes Beazley response services and notes New York exceptions for regulatory penalties and PCI-related protection. [3]
Check the offered state-specific form and incident-response process rather than importing features from a different jurisdiction. Also identify which limits and endorsements apply to fraudulent instructions and electronic crime.
