What Is ERISA Fidelity Insurance?

ERISA Fidelity coverage is a type of insurance that helps protect an employee benefit plan against losses caused by acts of fraud or dishonesty, such as larceny, theft, embezzlement, forgery, misappropriation, wrongful abstraction, wrongful conversion and willful misapplication. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) was enacted as federal law and instituted a fidelity bond requirement for plan trustees operating in the private sector, and it defined the coverage limit requirements.

TEXT: Are your employees’ retirement nest eggs protected?

[DESCRIPTION]
Illustrated image of a tree with a bird’s nest perched on a branch.
Mountains, rising sun and clouds in the background
[SPEECH]
Your employees have worked hard to build their retirement nest eggs. Can they count on you to protect them before they're hatched?

[DESCRIPTION]
Close-up of illustrated bird’s nest with three eggs on the tree branch. Wind gusts in, blowing a few leaves and rattling the eggs.
[SPEECH]
Say your benefit plan manager acting as a fiduciary embezzles plan funds for personal use.

[DESCRIPTION]
Cut to overhead view of nest with three eggs.
A cat sneaks in on a nearby branch and tries to steal the eggs.
[SPEECH]
Or what if your bookkeeper, a fiduciary of your company's 401(k) plan, pays herself using plan funds?

[DESCRIPTION]
Mother bird swoops in from the left to interrupt the cat’s ambitions. Bird flaps her wings and cat scurries off.
Mother bird checks over the eggs to make sure they are all right.
[SPEECH]
Fraud scenarios like these could put a serious crack in your employees’ nest eggs … not to mention your business.

[DESCRIPTION]
Mother bird flies from left to right, flapping her wings.
[SPEECH]
ERISA, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, mandates ERISA fidelity coverage, which protects insured benefit plans

[DESCRIPTION]
Mother bird lands near a few twigs scattered on the ground. She picks up a twig with her beak.
[SPEECH]
against loss by acts of fraud or dishonesty committed by a benefit plan fiduciary.

[DESCRIPTION]
Mother bird flies off with the twig in her beak.
[SPEECH]
And a Travelers ERISA fidelity policy protects your employees’ dreams of a secure retirement.

DESCRIPTION]
Mother bird arrives back at the nest. Places twig on it and sits on top of her three eggs.
[SPEECH]
Don't let fraud threaten the nest eggs your employees are counting on for their retirement years.

DESCRIPTION]
Mother bird stays perched on her eggs, keeping them safe.
[SPEECH]
Let Travelers help you keep those years golden.
