What Are the Key Differences Between Foxquilt and WTW Crime Insurance?

WTW’s FY2024 annual report lists crime insurance solutions within its global Financial, Executive and Professional Risks (FINEX) practice. The source is historical and group-level; it does not establish current US availability, an insurer, a policy form or a buyer’s eligibility. Foxquilt’s current product page describes Crime Insurance as a standalone policy or BOP add-on. [7] [3]

Practice listing and product structure

WTW’s FY2024 report is a practice listing, not an individual policy schedule. Foxquilt identifies two possible structures for its marketed product: standalone crime or an addition to a BOP. A business comparing them should first establish whether WTW is currently able to place the line in its jurisdiction and what insurer and form it proposes. [7] [3]

Confirming the placement

Foxquilt’s overview names theft and fraud examples but leaves policy form and limits to the quote. WTW’s annual report is not a current crime quote or coverage schedule. Request the insurer, agreements, limits and confirmation of binding in the documents for the specific placement rather than relying on either general description. [3] [7]

What Should You Confirm in Foxquilt and WTW Crime Insurance Quotes?

  • Ask WTW whether it can place crime for your jurisdiction now, and identify the proposed insurer and agreements. [7]
  • Ask Foxquilt for the issued form, limits, insurer and whether the quote is standalone or BOP-linked. [3]

WTW’s FY2024 annual report lists crime insurance solutions in its global FINEX practice; that historical group-level listing does not establish current US availability or a buyer’s eligibility. Foxquilt markets crime as standalone or a BOP add-on.
