Amwins flags gaps in standard D&O coverage for private equity-backed companies

• Amwins’ Oct. 27, 2026, analysis highlights gaps in standard directors and officers insurance for private equity-backed companies.
• Claims involving failed deals or acquisition roll-ups are rising despite slower merger and acquisition activity last year.
• A single claim can trigger sponsor and portfolio company policies, risking coverage disputes without explicit coordination language.
• Standard policies can contain restrictive exclusions; retrofitting forms with 40 to 60 endorsements increases potential coverage gaps and conflicts.
• Private equity firms are buying higher limits; tailored portfolio company policies offer consistent terms across carriers, easier customization and fewer conflicts.
