Bespoke insurance solutions for high value assets worldwide.

Whether your client own works of art, furniture and decorative arts, fine jewellery, silver rugs, rare coins, wine or any other kind of collectible, acquiring objects of fine quality is a pursuit that lasts a lifetime. If a piece in your client’s collection were damaged or stolen, how would the existing cover respond?

  • Would it cover the appropriate loss of value if the piece were partially damaged?
  • Would the current insurer understand how to assess the loss of value?
  • If a total loss was suffered, would the current policy provide retail replacement value or fair market value?

Many collectors are unaware of the exposure they have, because they assume their valuable possessions are covered under their domestic home and contents policy.

As their collection grows, protect it with greater strength.
