Understanding Your Needs

Understanding the distinction between cover types is essential for safeguarding your valuable assets. Our select high net worth policies are designed for clients with a higher than average asset sums insured. Higher than average sums insured, also means that the cover should be higher than average and it certainly is. For example, Accidental Damage asset cover usually comes as standard (often referred to as All Risks Asset cover), resulting in wider cover and a policy with fewer restrictions.

COVER COMPARISON

All Risks vs Insured Events

Standard insurance policies typically operate on an “Insured Events” or “Insured Perils” basis, covering only specific listed perils. Consider these scenarios:

storm

Natural Disaster

A massive boulder rolls downhill and destroys your luxury home.

room-temperature (1)

Smart Home Failure

A smart home controller malfunctions due to an accident while you are abroad, damaging your temperature controlled wine collection.

Power Surge

A power surge destroys valuable electronic equipment throughout your home.

Under a Standard "Insured Events"  policy, these incidents may not be covered unless explicitly listed. Even when covered, payouts are often significantly limited to predefined sums insured.

"All risks" cover provides substantially broader insurance protection, essentially covering accidental loss or damage unless specifically excluded, without restrictive limits on insured items. For individuals with assets exceeding R3 million, this comprehensive cover prevents exposure to significant uninsured financial losses.

Critical Questions

To evaluate if your current policy meets your needs, ask yourself:

Is your Accidental Damage Cover in excess of R3 million? (For House Contents / Building).
How would your insurer respond to loss relating to non commoditised assets like art and collectables?
Can you reach a dedicated Claims Specialist and Risk Advisor?
Do you have Emergency Assist Services 24/7?
Has the Average (Underinsurance) clause been deleted from your your insured assets policy?
If the answer to any of these questions is "No" you cover is inadequate and we recommend you contact a professional Risk Advisor.

You Are Exclusive

Boutique insurance.Not commodity insurance.

We give you what you need, not necessarily what you want. It is a blunt statement, but it sets the course clearly and honestly.

Chadwicks is not for everyone. We work best with discerning clients who want a specialist who understands risk and insurance better than they do and who rely on that expertise to make well informed decisions.

If you are looking for someone to follow instructions, get cheap quotes and ignore your claims history, we are probably not a good fit.

If you want a brokerage that knows more about insurance than you do and who uses that judgement to help you structure your cover properly, you will feel right at home here.
