Streamlined Coverage, Value- Added Services

Real estate companies typically purchase a variety of property, casualty, and financial and professional insurance products from multiple insurers, with renewal dates throughout the year. Such complex programs often require significant time and money to manage and may have gaps in coverage. In the event of a loss that may theoretically be covered by more than one policy, disputes among insurers could lead to drawn-out claims processes and lower payouts.

ZMAX Plus, a collaboration between Marsh and Zurich North America, provides a customizable risk transfer solution for commercial real estate companies, with the added benefit of working with a single insurer. ZMAX Plus offers an expansive portfolio of property, casualty, cyber, and management liability insurance along with access to industry leading risk engineering capabilities to help real estate risk professionals build global insurance programs, reduce coverage gaps, and ease administrative burdens while meeting loan covenant requirements.
