EXAMPLE:
Nasdaq Survey Data for a $500M - $1B Market Cap Company:
Total Average Limits: $30.8M Total Median Limits: $27.5M
Based on our exclusive database information provided by Stanford Securities Litigation Analytics, over the past 10 years, when sued in a securities claim, a company that has a $500M - $1B market cap high had the following settlements:
Average Settlement: $8.5M Median Settlement: $6.5M
You would need to add additional costs for defense, potential sidecar derivative actions, and the unlikely SEC investigation. All in, the average cost of risk is roughly $13M - $15M.
So, a company that is purchasing $30M, with a $2.5M retention could be potentially over- insuring by $10M - $15M in limits.
