Acquiring high-value personal assets—whether it is a rare family heirloom, a collection of haute horlogerie, or investment-grade fine art—is a hallmark of success for families living throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Westchester County, Connecticut, and New Jersey. However, a common and dangerous misconception among high-net-worth individuals is that standard homeowners, condo, or co-op policies automatically protect these prized possessions. In reality, standard residential property forms enforce restrictive sub-limits (frequently capped between $1,500 and $2,500) for specific asset categories like jewelry, furs, silver, and fine collectibles. Furthermore, standard lines completely exclude common hazards like mysterious disappearance or accidental breakage.

Operating as an agile independent agency, we partner with the nation’s elite high-net-worth insurance underwriters—including Travelers, Safeco Insurance, and Chubb—to insulate your private investments from catastrophic gaps.
