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.
An employee diverts company funds
Which crime insuring agreement, discovery provisions and limit apply, and are all affected entities included?
A loss affects several insured locations
How are property values, limits and deductibles applied across the schedule, including any blanket or scheduled treatment?
A liability claim exceeds the primary policy
Does the proposed umbrella follow that claim and insured party, and what attachment or exhaustion requirements must be met?
A better submission starts here.
Hedge’s preparation guidance for this placement:
- Provide the insured entities, complete operations, location and property-value schedules, loss information and target effective date.
- List the client’s contract requirements and the losses the proposed package most needs to address; compare each against the actual forms and endorsements.
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.

The CNA group disclosure identifies these underwriting companies but does not map this product to a single issuer in every state. Record the actual insurance company named in the proposal. [2]
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 CNA Paramount?
Choose “Get a quote with CNA Paramount” 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 CNA Paramount?
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 CNA Paramount.

What stands out, and why it matters.
Property, crime and liability answer different loss questions.
CNA describes Paramount as integrating property, crime and general-liability solutions. [1]
Build a short loss scenario for each section, then identify the corresponding limit, deductible and insured entity. A total package premium can hide differences that matter when a loss falls into only one section.
The umbrella deserves its own underlying-policy check.
The Paramount page identifies an enhanced umbrella policy alongside the package. [1]
Compare the required underlying insurance, attachment and insured parties with the rest of the client’s program. Ask how an excluded or uninsured underlying exposure is treated rather than assuming the umbrella fills every gap.
Risk control is part of the operating discussion.
CNA’s Paramount description discusses risk-control work addressing crime, fire, natural events and other liabilities. [1]
Identify the account’s recurring operational problems and ask which support is available for the proposed placement. A useful prevention plan depends on the client’s willingness and ability to act; it is not a substitute for coverage terms.
