Controlled Master Program

A Controlled Master Program (CMP) pairs a master policy issued in the United States with local (admitted) policies issued around the world. Chubb’s Controlled Master Program is the gold standard of insurance protection, financial efficiency and outstanding client service worldwide. Two specialized products are offered:

World Network is Chubb’s international insurance contract for multinational companies that have established a physical presence outside the United States. World Network provides a separate policy of primary multinational insurance or difference in conditions/excess insurance when admitted policies are in place. It includes insurance for Property, Business Income, General Liability, Commercial Automobile and Foreign Voluntary Workers Compensation.

Customarq Global insurance extends the terms and conditions of Chubb Customarq domestic policies to apply outside the United States, insuring worldwide exposures under one insurance contract. Customarq Global includes protection against any difference in conditions/excess insurance contained in policies issued outside the United States.

A Controlled Master Program offers distinct advantages over a patchwork of policies approach.

Quality Protection

Close insurance gaps with the difference in conditions / difference in limits provision of the master policy while meeting local country requirements.
Purchase admitted insurance to gain access to unique insurances that are common in certain countries (e.g., extended products liability and pure financial loss) and existing terrorism pools.

Financial Efficiency

Coordinate the purchase of all multinational insurance policies through one carrier to achieve economies of scale that will eliminate duplications and likely reduce insurance costs.
Realize tax advantages. In most foreign countries, locally paid premiums are tax deductible, and loss payments are tax exempt.
Ensure subrogation benefits by purchasing local insurance. Many countries require admitted insurance in order to subrogate a loss. This can potentially lower insurance costs.

Outstanding Client Service

Manage claims consistently with worldwide claims coordination. A CMP streamlines settlements by having the same insurer handle admitted and nonadmitted claims.
Extend loss prevention programs and business practices with worldwide loss control coordination. Our global network of loss control professionals is well-versed in local regulations and U.S. standards.
