Policy Declarations & Declarative Adjustments

For businesses with highly fluctuating inventory values (such as wholesale warehouses or retail outlets), Prestige Assurance offers a **Declaration Policy option**. Under this framework, you pay a provisional premium based on 75% of your maximum estimated contents value, with actual stock values declared monthly.

Monthly Value Declarations

The insured is required to submit a signed statement declaring the maximum value of stock on their premises on a specific day of every calendar month.

Aggregated Monthly Averages

At the end of the 12-month policy cycle, the monthly values are aggregated and averaged to compute the final actual sum insured.

Premium Adjustment Settlement

If the actual average sum insured is less than the provisional premium baseline, a return premium is issued. If higher, an additional premium is billed.
