Magnes, the broker for the IFB E&O program, has once again successfully negotiated the best rates and coverage available to independent brokers – starting from just $770!
LOWER PREMIUMS – The IFB E&O plan is ‘No Fee’ E&O — no broker fees, no ‘fund’ fees. When comparing rates, be sure to check if your current provider tacks on these extra charges.
LIMITS OF $1 MILLION to $5 MILLION – and all levels in between.
SIMPLIFIED PREMIUMS – no complicated rate charts and level premiums across the country for life insurance brokers and mutual fund advisors.
CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED – Pay your premium with Visa or MasterCard.
GREAT OPTIONAL EXTRAS – coverage for Exempt Market Dealer Reps, low cost Privacy and Network Security coverage, Lifetime Extended Reporting (ERP) available, and a waiver of deductible in the event of a Life, A&S, or Mutual Fund claim if you have been insured under the IFB members’ plan and have been claims free for at least three years.

Coverage Details:
Accident Death and Dismemberment insurance will automatically be included in your new or renewing plan. This coverage will protect you during YOUR working hours – so, in other words, any time you are travelling to or from a client meeting, whether it’s during regular business hours or an evening or weekend!
We want to give a helping hand to people who are just starting out in the industry. IFB offers up to 50% off your first E&O premium if you’re a new financial broker. To qualify for this discount, you must be a newly licensed Life or Mutual Fund representative; never held a license before, and never held E&O coverage before.
Data security is a paramount exposure in the financial services industry. A breach of data can be ruinous in terms of costs to comply with notification requirements, potential liability claims, and damage to your business reputation. The optional coverage available to IFB members addresses these evolving exposures: it protects your business from claims and other exposures resulting from a breach of data security.
Limit/Premium information is as follows:
Limit: $100,000
Deductible: $1,000
Flat rate Premium: $175
