Licenses and Regulatory Information:
The XL Group 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 web site are not available to all users due to insurance regulatory restrictions, the availability varies by global jurisdiction.

For U.S. issued insurance policies:
"XL Insurance" is a registered trademark of XL Group plc. XL Insurance is the global brand used by XL Group plc's insurance companies. In the US, the XL 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 herein is intended for informational purposes only. Insurance coverage in any particular case will depend upon the type of policy in effect, the terms, conditions and exclusions in any such policy, and the facts of each unique situation. No representation is made that any specific insurance coverage would apply in the circumstances outlined herein. Please refer to the individual policy forms for specific coverage details.

XL London Market Ltd and other Lloyds operations

US entities please note:

Underwriters at Lloyd's, 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 only through licensed surplus lines brokers or you may approach us directly, subject to the limitations of the laws of your state. Persons or companies that do so directly need to make themselves 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 reporting and taxation are the responsibility of the insured.

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