Excess Layer

The Excess Layer PI product delivers the confidence and continuity clients need in an evolving risk environment combining flexibility, expertise, and Tokio Marine HCC’s enduring market commitment.

In today's commercial environment, the landscape for Excess Layer Professional Indemnity (PI) has undergone a market transformation. Shifting exposures, escalating contractual obligations and evolving risk appetites have made high-limit excess capacity not just beneficial but essential.

Contract values are now significantly larger, particularly in sectors like construction and technology. Many businesses are contractually required to maintain higher levels of coverage, while others recognise the need for additional protection based on their project exposures and risk profiles. At Tokio Marine HCC, our Excess Layer Professional Indemnity cover is designed to bridge the gap. With flexible limits, tailored wording and excellent sector expertise, we provide our clients with the cover they really need.  
What sets us apart is our consistency and commitment to the markets we serve. When Tokio Marine HCC enters a market, we stay. Our service levels and long-term approach mean brokers and clients can rely on us to be there when needed.

Our excess layer coverage benefits from the same deep sector expertise that drives our primary PI products. Whether you know us for our work in construction, technology, media, or any other professional sector, you can access our excess layer capacity across all areas. 

Every excess layer requirement is different. Our approach recognises that contract values, exposures and coverage needs vary significantly across sectors and individual risks. That's why our excess layer PI offering is designed to completely flexible. We can tailor coverage to follow your primary terms while providing the additional capacity you need.

Our experienced underwriting team works with brokers to structure coverage that is appropriate for each specific risk, building on our extensive knowledge across all the professional sectors we serve.
