## Resource

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The key difference between umbrella (broader coverage) and excess (higher limits only) policies. - How a Self-Insured Retention (SIR) functions like a deductible for claims not covered by underlying insurance. - What "drop-down" coverage means in the context of an umbrella policy. - How underlying limits must be exhausted before an umbrella or excess policy will pay for a covered claim. - Why a "follow-form" excess policy provides no new types of coverage, only additional money.
