About Brown & Brown Private Client Group

The Brown & Brown Private Client Group evolved from a joint venture between Chase Manhattan Bank and the Personal Lines Insurance Brokerage in Wilmington, DE which B&B purchased in 2007.
It takes unique expertise and skills to develop insurance solutions for the specialized clients we serve. So, Brown & Brown retained the highest performers from the joint venture and augmented them with several of the best and brightest from its ranks. The result is a team of highly skilled and extraordinary professionals with gold standard knowledge of the industry as well as an unparalleled commitment to providing the most innovative and effective ideas to help our clients’ manage risk and protect their valuable assets.
It’s not just a policy. It is a Brown & Brown Advisor. Let us show you the difference.

Making Sure Your Valuable Collections are Insured for Their True Value

Recently, the last privately-owned copy of Edvard Munch’s famous 1895 pastel of The Scream sold for a record $119.9 million at Sotheby’s Auction House. Dubbed “the portrait of a soul” and “the face that launched 1,000 therapists,” The Scream was purchased over the telephone through an anonymous bid. While few collectors possess paintings of such renown, high net worth families often amass significant collections that are improperly or inadequately managed with regards to valuations and insurance.

 

Ordinarily, unscheduled valuable articles, such as jewelry, fine art and furs, are covered in the same way as regular personal belongings, clothing and furniture. By not having the proper insurance tools in place, replacing the value of your properties can lead to controversy and dispute, and may leave you with less coverage than you believed you had.

Private Client Advisor

We are pleased to bring you the 4th edition of the Private Client Advisor. We decided to focus on a few topics that tied into the summer months including preparing your collector car for road use and considerations when renovating your home.

 

We have also included important information on how to protect your valuable collections as they are most often overlooked from the insurance and risk management perspective. Most art enthusiasts collect for the beauty and intrinsic value, while others collect to diversify their investment holdings. In either case, by sitting down with your Brown & Brown advisor, you can be confident that you are protected from all possible issues in the purchasing and owning of such valuable objects.

 

All of us at Brown & Brown Private Client Group hope you are having a safe, happy and wonderful summer season!
