Letter from the President, Stephanie Hoboth: Celebrating 30 Years of Exceptional Fidelity / Crime Protection

2025 marks the 30th anniversary of Great American Insurance Group’s Fidelity / Crime Division, now the 3rd largest crime insurer in North America. This success is attributed to exceptional service, comprehensive coverage, and a strong commitment to the market. The division's growth and stability have been supported by the trust of brokers and customers, with many celebrating long-term relationships of 15, 25, and even 30 years with us!

Evolution of Fidelity / Crime

The world has changed tremendously in the last 30 years. The rapid evolution of technology has affected how criminals commit crimes. However, one fundamental aspect of employee dishonesty has never changed: employees with the motivation to steal will do so when the opportunity exists. Thieves will go the path of least resistance, where the weakest internal controls are. By adapting policy coverage to match changing exposures, we have evolved to meet the needs of our customers. We help to educate our customers on minimizing their risks to prevent losses and have help them to avoid catastrophic losses to their business. We offer continuing education classes about crime coverage to educate our brokers, and we offer loss control services to help insureds become better risks.

Over the past 30 years, we have added to our suite of niche products. We offer traditional crime coverage for mercantile, governmental, and financial entities. In addition, we offer coverage for armored cars, gaming risks, and Native American risks. We added coverage for kidnap and ransom 20 years ago and are proud to offer $65 million in capacity. More recently, we added Fine Art coverage to our suite of products. Our dedicated Fine Art team is experienced in this class and is always looking for ways to assist our customers.

Thank You!

Our long-term success is credited to the dedication of underwriters, claim professionals, and support specialists. A special thank you is extended to our brokers and insureds for their trust and support over the years. Thank you for believing in us. We owe our success to you and will continue to work hard to keep that trust and serve your needs.

We look forward to another 30 years of serving the fidelity/crime industry!
