Calsurance offers RIAs cheap E&O through a group plan underwritten by Arch. The certificate looks great. The policy language tells a different story. We read it like a claims adjuster and found trap doors in the trade error coverage, application provisions, and sublimits.

Cheap E&O insurance sounds great until you file a claim. We tore apart the NAPA Benefits policy and found 31 exclusions, a group plan that shares your limits with strangers, and language so broad a claims adjuster could deny coverage on almost any stock recommendation.

The XYPN group E&O plan covers 800+ firms under one $20M policy. Alternative asset coverage drops 75% from individual policies. Other firms' claims drain your protection. Growing past two advisors? No coverage for the third. Know these gaps before choosing group insurance over individual protection.
