HSB Supports Agents with Trusted Choice® Campaign
"Independent Agents are Key Partners of HSB"
In order to help strengthen our relationships with independent agents, HSB has joined the Trusted Choice® consumer brand campaign sponsored by the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America (IIABA - the Big "I").
EDUCATING CONSUMERS
This national consumer brand initiative has been adopted by leading insurers to help educate consumers about the benefits of using independent insurance agents and brokers. Trusted Choice® is the consumer marketing identity for thousands of independent insurance agencies and brokerage firms and their branch locations.
AGENT PARTNERS
"Independent agents are key partners of HSB," said Richard H. Booth, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hartford Steam Boiler, "whether it's through the many property-casualty carriers that package our specialty coverages or our relationships with more than 10,000 agents doing direct business with HSB."
WE'RE FLEXIBLE
Although most of our business is written through carriers that are reinsured by HSB, we also offer monoline equipment breakdown coverage. In fact, we have more agency appointments than virtually any commercial property-casualty insurer. You can package the coverage with one of the many carriers that partner with us, or place it directly with HSB - our full-service approach lets you decide what is best for your clients.
QUALITY COVERAGE
HSB's "portfolio" strategy provides equipment breakdown, identity recovery and employment practices liability insurance with the package policy to make premiums more affordable and lower selling costs. If you choose HSB monoline coverage, our InstantQuote online tool lets you quote and bind a policy in minutes. Either way, you get quality coverage and services and personal service from HSB.
WE HELP YOU MAKE THE SALE
HSB offers innovative specialty products. We help you understand the exposures and make the sale through live training, educational Webinars, Web site tools and other resources. We underwrite classes of business that are important to agents and offer top notch claim service and loss control support. The A.M. Best Company has awarded HSB its highest financial strength rating, A++ (Superior).

The Big "I" has scheduled a promotional media campaign for the Trusted Choice® initiative in May. Learn more about HSB at www.hsb.com, or contact the HSB Customer Solution Center toll-free at 1-800-345-1122.
