# Named peril vs open peril

> How named peril and open peril homeowners policies differ, why open peril (all-risk) coverage is broader, and why the exclusion list still matters.

**Named peril** policies cover only specifically listed events (fire, theft, wind, etc.). **Open peril** (all-risk) covers everything except listed exclusions.

Open peril is broader and is standard on many quality homeowners policies for the dwelling. Always read the exclusion list.
