Whether investing worldwide or growing domestically, real estate companies are looking at risk as an opportunity. They are examining exposures associated with potential transactions and determining better ways of identifying, quantifying, mitigating, and financing those risks in order to close transactions.

The subject of risk, having reached the attention of the boardroom after September 11, continues to be a major factor in driving business growth. Today, chief risk officers and risk managers at real estate companies have higher profiles, and those with broader knowledge of potential risk tend to help bolster deals and keep investors content that their assets are protected.

Marsh collects and maintains extensive benchmark data for a wide variety of industries and risks. Our information is collected, aggregated, and analyzed by our industry and risk practice experts across the country.

Marsh's Real Estate Practice has produced a new annual benchmark study that compares the risk management and insurance programs of more than 300 buyers of insurance products in the real estate industry in the United States. This report combines our most current benchmarking data into one single and uniform document focused on the real estate industry. Benchmarking is an extremely valuable tool that helps us validate insurance-program design, renewal strategies, and pricing targets to achieve positive results for our clients.
