Key Differences in Commercial Property Insurance

Who Carries the Risk

Chubb underwrites commercial property directly. 4 Newfront's property practice negotiates placement and program structure with carriers rather than underwriting the risk itself. 10

Program Structuring Options

Chubb's page describes three program tiers by account size and complexity without naming specific structuring mechanisms. 4 Newfront lists All-Risks, supply-chain and business-interruption coverage, and catastrophe perils including flood, hurricane, wildfire and terrorism, and separately says it structures shared and layered programs, deductible buy-downs, and parametric insurance using an agreed event trigger. 10

Services Attached to the Placement

What to Confirm in Commercial Property Insurance Quotes

  • Ask which entity issues the policy: Chubb underwrites its own program, while Newfront's page does not name an insurer. 4 10
  • If Newfront proposes a parametric structure, ask what event trigger is used and how payout is calculated. 10
  • Request published limits and deductibles from both; neither page discloses them. 4 10
  • Ask Newfront which industries its property practice has direct experience with, since its page lists construction, manufacturing, real estate and retail/wholesale. 10
