Ace Risk Management Gets 3 Buyers Choice Awards from Business Insurance Magazine

Ace USA, the U.S.-based retail operations of Ace Group, announced that Ace Risk Management, the company's primary casualty division, has again earned top honors in the 2013 Business Insurance Buyers Choice Awards.

These awards recognize organizations that buyers of commercial insurance products and services would most often recommend based on attributes those buyers consider most important. Ace Risk Management is the recipient of three awards from Business Insurance: overall winner in the Commercial Liability category, and that category's winner for both service and expertise.

This is especially significant as it represents the second consecutive year that Ace Risk Management received Business Insurance Buyers Choice Awards for service and expertise. Last year, the team was honored in the categories of commercial auto, liability and workers compensation for large and mid-sized businesses.

Chris Maleno, Division President, Ace USA, commented, "We're proud of the creativity and collaboration demonstrated by the Ace Risk Management team in developing and launching several product innovations that have enhanced our connectivity with clients. I'm especially proud of their responsiveness to our Client Advisory Board members and brokers, in developing these new initiatives that help risk managers do their jobs more efficiently."

"In our ongoing commitment to invest in improvements in service and to create value for our clients, we have made further enhancements to our interactive portals to take the servicing of the ARM business to the next level," said Matt Merna, Division President, Ace Risk Management.

"This past year, we expanded Ace Worldview to Ace Risk Management (ARM) brokers and clients - this portal streamlines their access to the range of services we provide, and includes electronic delivery of policies and endorsements and online access to their risk management programs. With Ace Worldview, users can view status updates for their U.S. domestic Ace Risk Management primary casualty programs in real time, online. In addition, we've enhanced our award- winning Ace AcceleratorSM program - users can now electronically complete and electronically sign their state UM/UIM coverage election forms. Our goal is to continue to use technology to enhance the overall customer experience."
