TARGET MARKET & ELIGIBILITY
Clients with substantial assets, or high current and future income need high limits of liability protection. Homeowners and Automobile Liability policies are often inadequate in providing necessary protection against catastrophic liability claims.
The Anderson & Murison Personal Excess Policy (A&M PEP) is a stand-alone personal umbrella policy, in the admitted market, that has been designed to meet the diverse needs of your insureds. Scottsdale is the carrier and is "A" rated by A.M. Best. Anderson & Murison, Inc. represents Scottsdale as the national administrator of the Personal Excess Policy. A&M has underwriting and policy issuance authority and as such, is your connection to both the primary Personal Excess Policy and the excess Personal Umbrella Policy.

ENDORSEMENTS, CANCELLATIONS, & RENEWALS
Endorsements - You should submit endorsement requests correcting name, address, etc. to Big 'I' Markets. The producer may make no changes.
Renewals - An updated PEP application is required to process the PEP policy renewal. A&M Services will run MVRs for each operator for renewals. The insured must sign the PEP application which includes an underlying limits warranty clause.
Renewal notification and processes will be in accordance with your state's requirements:
-
First notice: Renewal quotes based on last year's policy information will be sent to the insured and the producer. The renewal quote letter will also include instructions for the insured to contact the producer to renew the PEP policy.
-
Second Notice: A&M Services will forward a second notice of renewal to the producer. If renewal premium is received and duly recorded by the PEP administrator, A&M Services, on or before the expiration date, coverage will be continued without lapse.
-
Late payment: If insured's payment is received late, a new policy will be issued.
When renewal premium is received, commission will be credited to your account.
PEP policies you write will be extended only to the expiration date should IIABA membership become inactive.
Non-renewal - The carrier may choose not to provide a renewal offer to an insured for reasons such as excessive claims activity or other permitted underwriting reasons. In keeping with state regulations such a decision will be conveyed to you before formal cancellations procedures are initiated.
Cancellations - Send original policy or lost policy release with your request for cancellation. All cancellations and return premiums will be acknowledged by you and processed as entries to your production statement. You will return premiums due to the insured. Policies will be cancelled pro-rata as of the date Big "I" Markets receives a valid cancellation request. No flat cancellations for non-payment are permitted.
