Licenses and Regulatory Information
XL Group plc is a holding company and does not underwrite or provide (re)insurance products or services. All such products or services are provided by operating subsidiaries within the XL Group. XL Group plc’s insurance, reinsurance and financial products and services companies are licensed or otherwise approved to transact business in various countries and various states of the United States. All products and services referred to are subject to underwriting requirements. Certain products and services described on this website are not available to all users because of insurance regulatory restrictions. Availability varies by jurisdiction.

US-issued Insurance Policies
In the US, XL’s insurance companies are Greenwich Insurance Company; Indian Harbor Insurance Company; XL Insurance America, Inc.; XL Insurance Company of New York, Inc.; XL Select Insurance Company and XL Specialty Insurance Company. Not all of the insurers do business in all jurisdictions nor is coverage available in all jurisdictions.

The information contained on this website is intended for informational purposes only. Insurance coverage in any particular case will depend on the type of policy in effect; the terms, conditions and exclusions in any such policy and the facts of each unique situation. We make no representation that any specific insurance coverage would apply in the circumstances outlined on this website. Please refer to the individual policy forms for specific coverage details.

XL London Market Ltd and Other Lloyd’s Operations
US entities please note:
Underwriters at Lloyd's of London ("Underwriters") are licensed only in Kentucky, Illinois and the US Virgin Islands but are approved surplus lines insurers in all other US jurisdictions. Insurance policies issued by Underwriters are not protected or guaranteed by state insurance guaranty associations or insolvency funds.

Coverage is available through licensed surplus lines brokers or directly, subject to the limitations of your state’s laws. Persons or companies seeking to obtain coverage directly should become familiar with state laws governing the placement of insurance risks with non-admitted insurers. A number of jurisdictions have industrial insured exemptions or large commercial insured exemptions, which govern direct placements. Typically, these require an insured to have a full-time insurance risk manager or a continuously retained insurance consultant and a minimum number of employees and amount of annual premium.

In many jurisdictions, direct and/or industrial insured placements are subject to reporting and taxation requirements. Generally, such requirements are the responsibility of the insured.

Because insurance laws governing surplus lines and direct and industrial insured placements vary among jurisdictions with regard to the requirements and obligations of the insured and any broker or consultant involved, you should carefully review a jurisdiction's laws before deciding which procedure to undertake.

        Forward Looking Statements
        Statements that are not historical facts—including statements about our beliefs, plans or expectations—are forward-looking statements.

Actual results may differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements, and therefore you should not place undue reliance on them. A non-exclusive list of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements includes (a) changes in the size of XL’s claims relating to natural or man-made catastrophe losses due to the preliminary nature of some reports and estimates of loss and damage to date; (b) trends in rates for property and casualty insurance and reinsurance; (c) the timely and full recoverability of reinsurance placed by XL with third parties or other amounts due to XL; (d) changes in ratings or rating agency policies and practices; (e) changes in the projected amount of ceded reinsurance recoverables; (f) XL’s ability to successfully implement its business strategy; (g) greater frequency or severity of claims and loss activity than XL’s underwriting, reserving or investment practices anticipate based on historical experience or industry data; (h) changes in general economic conditions, including the effects of inflation and changes in interest rates, credit spreads, foreign currency exchange rates and future volatility in the world’s credit, financial and capital markets that adversely affect the performance and valuation of XL’s investments or access to such markets; (i) developments, including uncertainties related to the ability of eurozone countries to service existing debt obligations, the strength of the euro as a currency and the financial condition of counterparties, reinsurers and other companies that are at risk of bankruptcy and affect XL’s business; (j) the impact of downgrades of US securities by credit rating agencies or the European sovereign debt crisis and the resulting effect on the value of securities in our investment portfolio or posted as collateral by and to us; (k) the potential for changes to methodologies, estimations and assumptions that underlie the valuation of XL’s financial instruments that could result in changes to investment valuations; (l) changes to XL’s assessment as to whether it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, or changes to its intent to sell, available-for-sale debt securities before their anticipated recovery; (m) the ability of XL’s subsidiaries to pay dividends to XL Group plc and XLIT Ltd.; (n) the potential effect of regulatory developments in the jurisdictions in which XL operates, including regulatory developments that could impact the financial markets or increase XL’s business costs and required capital levels; (o) changes in applicable tax laws, tax treaties or tax regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof; and (p) the other factors set forth in XL’s reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and other documents on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. XL undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
