ZMAX Plus Reduces Potential For Coverage Gaps 

In order to address potential gaps in insurance coverage faced by US midsize commercial real estate firms, Marsh, the world’s leading insurance broker and risk advisor, today announced it has added several coverage enhancements to its ZMAX commercial real estate insurance program, including cyber liability.

With more than 30 property, casualty, environmental, management liability, and cyber liability coverage forms, ZMAX Plus, which is underwritten by Zurich North America, is a single-carrier solution that helps midsize US commercial real estate firms minimize potential coverage gaps as well as achieve cost savings and administrative efficiencies.

“Today’s real estate companies have to navigate a very challenging market characterized by unprecedented demographic shifts, sweeping technological disruption and an increase in natural catastrophes. They are looking for an innovative way to simplify their insurance programs while protecting against an increasingly complex range of risks,” said Jeffrey Alpaugh, Marsh’s Global Real Estate Practice Leader. “ZMAX Plus gives midsize real estate companies the protection they need through a comprehensive portfolio of insurance coverages as well as access to industry-leading risk engineering capabilities.”

All coverage lines are available with separate limits so claims in one line do not erode coverage in others. ZMAX Plus also minimizes the potential for coverage gaps, which can occur when purchasing multiple policies from different carriers.

“Our real estate customers tell us they need a risk-transfer solution that is broad enough to give them peace of mind, yet simple enough that they are not spending significant time and money to procure and manage,” said Paul Horgan, Head of US Commercial Insurance, Zurich North America. “ZMAX Plus addresses these needs and helps these firms compete with more confidence.”
