Term · Insurance and risk management · MLC-T-INS-002562

A common exclusion in directors and officers (D&O) liability insurance policies that denies coverage for claims arising from an insured individual gaining an illegal personal profit or advantage.

It reinforces the principle that D&O insurance is not intended to cover deliberate illegal acts for personal gain.
