Do You Need A Buffer Layer?
|
|
|
|
|
Did your SIR
go up and you didn’t want it to?
Try a Buffer Layer Approach.
Last year, public entities across America saw an increase in their SIR’s and many don’t have the loss reserves to support the higher SIR. This leaves these public entities extremely vulnerable in a large loss situation. Should a large loss scenario occur, the risk manager would have to figure out how to externally fund the higher SIR, either with higher taxes or by floating a bond…Not exactly what a risk manager is excited to face with all the other challenges of today.
To counteract this higher SIR move by the standard public entity companies, we are seeing the emergence of a specialty market that offers "Buffer Layers". These buffer layers allow the client to keep the same lower SIR they prefer and are funded for.
Here’s your typical Buffer Layer scenario: 2008 SIR set at $2mil, 2009 renewal offered at a $4mil with some sort of discount. The client isn’t funded for the $4mil SIR, so we provide a $2mil X/S $2mil buffer layer. These buffer layers do cost money, but they have a decent payback period ofless than 10 years in most cases. Usually, the client uses the discount from the insurance placement, and other available resources to purchase the buffer layer.
The emerging companies providing the $1mil or $2mil layers are specialized and use a more primary loss pick rating system approach. These buffer layers resemble insurance that you’re more likely to use than the excess insurance of today, which companies are betting you don’t use…With the use of buffer layers, it is really a win / win situation. You get the SIR you financially need at a price you can handle and avoid the funding issue during a large claim which could lead to oversight of your department decision making powers.
GIE has been a specialized force in the public entity world for nearly 20 years and always stays top of emerging trends in the insurance world. Call us today to learn more about the use of this emerging "Buffer Layer" technique!

Have a jail and looking for extra revenue? Read this article!
Public Entities across the country are signing contracts that allow the federal government to use the empty beds in their jails. This program allows public entities to bring in extra revenue, but at the same time introduces new risk. In reponse, GIE has designed a program specifically for Section 287g contracts and the liability associated with these programs. The program is designed for entities that either want to segregate their claims for ICE, or would like to buy down their SIR for the ICE program.
Here are the program basics.
Coverage provided:
- A13 carrier
- Non – admitted policy
- Attachments down to $50k
- Limits up to $5mil
- GL for the jail portion used
- Police professional for the jailors
- Coverage for any law enforcement related auto accident
- Coverage for the nursing staff at the Jail
Items needed to quote:
- Police professional application
- Full loss runs for the jail for the last 6 years
- Number of inmates, jailors, autos and nurses specific to just the 287g program.
Our program is a great way to limit your exposure while bringing in extra revenue!
Get Started On Applying! Call Us Today!

Do you have all the markets covered?
Have you been hired by a public entity to provide access to the entire insurance marketplace? Well if you’re not teamed up with a specialty wholesaler like GIE, then you’re missing a vital part of the puzzle. Many great excess markets are wholesale only and can ONLY be accessed by a qualified and appointed wholesaler. GIE is an independent wholesaler who specializes in excess insurance for public entities. We provide access to all the markets, both retail and wholesale.

Bob Penny Says Hello!
Perspective from the past year:
The roiling financial markets created impetus for change; in our municipal financial plans, and in our personal investments. The influx of additional capital and carriers serving the public entity sector has helped our many clients meet their budget challenges; and we were happy to be part of this process. We have access to a changing marketplace and this allows us to help with your insurance placements, many of which changed this year.
This was a year of change for me also. After 30+ years serving you from the carrier side, resolving your claims and underwriting your liability insurance, I adapted to the changing marketplace and adopted another position to continue to serve you. It is a pleasure to work with GIE and to have the opportunity to serve you as a wholesale broker. I look forward to facing changes with you!
I wish you all the best in the coming year.
Respectfully,
Robert Penny
