How is Private Client Insurance Sold?

Properly insuring a high net-worth individual requires more knowledge than a typical insurance agent possesses. It’s not just a matter of getting valuations for property and collectibles right; it’s also knowing what questions to ask to ensure that there are no gaps in coverage.A major benefit of private client insurance is that it offers more comprehensive coverage than what is sold by mass-market insurers. This is true in a couple different ways:

  • Private client insurance policy limits are higher, so more can be covered.
  • Private client insurers require that customers purchase multiple types of policies, which ensures that your coverage is seamless. For example, having an excess personal liability policy with the same insurer that covers your auto means your personal liability kicks in immediately if your auto liability maxes out.

Because private client policies are more complicated and require more attention to detail than mass-market insurance, the products can only be purchased through a broker. This means that the broker-client relationship is just as important as the insurance you decide to purchase. You’ll want to choose a broker with experience, with access to all of the products, and who is there when you need them, no matter when that might be.Kelly Klee’s sole business is selling personal private client insurance. Our experience is vast, we write policies with all five of the major private client insurers, and we always have a licensed expert available to help. We understand our clients’ needs, which is why our agency operates differently than mass-market agents.
