Please describe your company’s program appetites (please include LOB’s and States):


Programs with specialty product needs in the $2.5 million to $10+ million range. Most of our programs are built
around non-admitted casualty products, admitted/non-admitted and professional liability products and non-
regulated marine/related property products. Fireman’s Fund Specialty Insurance does not write Workers Comp
and has limited availability to Auto products from a sister unit.
List of Highly Customized Products:
•Commercial  Output Policy for Mono-line property.••Inland Marine products, including Builders Risk, Contractors
Equipment, Installation Floaters, Motor Truck Cargo, Electronic Equipment Insurance, Fine Arts, Misc. Tool /
Instrument Floaters.

filed.

Programs your company will not consider:


Workers Compensation
Limited appetite for Automobile driven risks


Minimum Annual Written Premium Considered:


Rollover GPW must exceed $2.5 million. We may consider smaller programs for Inland Marine affinity groups.


Other Program Consideration/Submission Criteria:

“Speed to market” is vital to program specialist producers who service the affinity sector. With complete information
in hand, Fireman's Fund Specialty Insurance can bring an affinity program to market in less than 12 weeks.

To do so, we need:

§Executive summary describing the affinity group members’ operations and outlining their unmet insurance needs
§§List of key producer and affinity group personnel
§§60-months of P&L performance, including premium analysis by state and product line
§§Actuarial report (if available)
§§List of roll-over accounts with annual premiums and policy x-dates
§§Program underwriting guide
§§Specimen copies of key policy forms & exclusions
§§Multi-year marketing plan with quarterly sales beacons
Program Administrator Parameters:
Technology Expectations of Program Administrators (rating, issuing, report capabilities etc.):


Fireman’s Fund Specialty Insurance assesses carrier/program administrator interface on a case by case basis.
The program administrator is expected to perform “box” underwriting and “rate grid” quoting.


Risk Sharing:


Fireman’s Fund desires to write first dollar programs. We do not “front”.


Claims:
Fireman’s Fund has an inside claims department that covers 50 states. We also work with a limited list of approved
TPA’s


Other:

" Speed-to-market is the currency of trade with specialty products. With the many parts of the Fireman's Fund team
working together, we shorten new program launch timeframes and deliver effective, long-lasting solutions.”

Jack Russell, Executive Director, Specialty Programs
