High-value assets attract not just buyers—but criminals too. Businesses handling luxury watches, gold, antique collectibles, or jewellery face constant exposure to risk. While modern security systems deter threats, they can’t always prevent loss. That’s why combining physical protection with valuable items insurance coverage provides the full-circle defence that high-risk businesses truly need.
Who needs valuable items insurance coverage?
Some businesses handle inventory that’s not just expensive—but also easy to transport and resell. These businesses are most vulnerable:
- Jewellery retailers, with gold, diamonds, and gemstones on display
- Pawn brokers, who store a variety of personal valuables as loan collateral
- Luxury watch shops, often stocked with rare or limited-edition pieces
- Antique and art dealers, managing irreplaceable collectibles
- Gold traders, dealing in physical bullion and coins
Each of these sectors manages assets that carry a high risk profile. Without proper insurance coverage, one incident could result in overwhelming financial loss.
What does the coverage typically include?
AEG Malaysia offers specialised protection for valuable items that go beyond standard business insurance. Key coverage areas include:
- Theft—both external break-ins and internal staff-related incidents
- Accidental damage to items during handling or display
- Fire or natural disasters that destroy inventory
- Transit losses, especially between branches or during customer delivery
- Temporary coverage for items on loan, consignment, or public display
This level of valuable items insurance coverage is designed specifically for the types of losses these industries commonly face.
