Personal Collections Insurance

Protecting the Value and Legacy of Your Treasured Possessions

As a high-net-worth individual, your personal collections reflect your passions, investments, and legacy. Whether it’s fine art, rare antiques, luxury jewelry, or vintage wine, these valuable assets require specialized protection beyond standard homeowners insurance.

At GRIT Insurance, we provide comprehensive personal collections insurance designed to safeguard your treasures from damage, theft, and unforeseen events.

Why Standard Insurance Isn’t Enough

While homeowners insurance may offer some coverage for personal items, it often falls short in protecting high-value collections. Here’s why you need specialized coverage:

• Limited Coverage Caps
  Most homeowners policies have low limits for high-value items like jewelry, art, or collectibles.

• Inadequate Valuation
  Standard policies may not account for the unique or appreciating value of rare items.

• Excluded Risks
  Damage during transport, accidental breakage, or mysterious disappearance are often not covered.

• Global Protection
  Specialized policies provide worldwide coverage, ensuring protection for items on loan, in transit, or displayed abroad.
