Structuring Coverage for Complex Portfolios
High net worth structures often span secondary homes, yachts, private aircraft, investment properties, and diverse business interests. Aon works with specialist teams to align layers of insurance and alternative risk transfer so that limits, sublimits, and exclusions reflect the actual risk profile rather than standardized retail schedules. This structural approach helps avoid gaps when multiple policies respond to the same loss.
Wealth Preservation and Liability Management
For affluent clients, liability exposure can arise from professional activities, property ownership, and personal relationships. Aon facilitates umbrella and excess programs, along with tailored deductibles and retention levels, to manage downside without disrupting liquidity. The objective is to preserve capital while enabling clients to pursue personal and professional opportunities with measured confidence.
Family Office and Succession Considerations
Family offices often integrate insurance into broader governance, education, and continuity planning. Aon supports these efforts with risk governance frameworks, governance aligned scorecards, and scenario based underwriting that considers future generations, cross border residency, and evolving family roles. These elements help keep protection strategies aligned with long term family objectives.
Global Mobility and Cross Border Protection
Clients who maintain residences or businesses in multiple jurisdictions face varied regulatory regimes and insurance standards. Aon coordinates global placements, local compliance, and currency considerations, ensuring that policies issued in one region do not undermine protection in another. This coordinated stance is essential for seamless claims handling and legal enforceability.
