A fiduciary liability policy purchased for an employee benefits plan must include coverage for any legal liability of the employer and plan fiduciaries for any actions taken in the administration of the plan.

This coverage should extend to the reimbursement of defense costs and any judgments or settlements arising from alleged breach of fiduciary duty. The policy should also cover any losses resulting from errors and omissions in the management of plan assets or the selection of service providers.

Additionally, the policy should provide coverage for any losses that may arise from any claims made by plan participants related to the administration of the plan. Finally, the policy should provide coverage for any claims related to the fiduciary’s failure to monitor the plan’s investments and service providers.
