Excess Layer Insurance
Excess layer (aka Excess of Loss) insurance is when one insurer provides insurance for the first part of a claim/loss and then another insurer provides insurance for the next part of the claim/loss. The insurance for the “next part of the claim/loss” is referred to as the Excess Layer.
For example:
ABC Insurance provides a $5m limit but is unwilling to provide a higher limit
XYZ Insurance offers to provide the next $5m of insurance
If the Insured has a $6m claim then ABC pays $5m and XYZ pays $1m

FTA provides excess layer insurance for:
Professional Indemnity
Management Liability
D&O insurance – Private companies only
