Clements Worldwide

What Clements Worldwide does

Clements Worldwide is a Washington, DC-based international insurance broker founded in 1947, specializing in coverage for individuals and organizations living and operating abroad. The company serves a tightly defined niche spanning diplomats and foreign service professionals, military personnel and government contractors, international schools, nongovernmental and humanitarian organizations, expatriates, digital nomads, and high net worth individuals. Its product portfolio is organized into personal lines (international car and motorcycle insurance, international personal property coverage, the Missions Abroad program for foreign service and military personnel, and high net worth bespoke solutions) and commercial lines (Gallagher Scholars for international schools and NGO Select for nonprofit and humanitarian organizations). Coverage spans vehicles, household contents, liability, and travel across multiple jurisdictions, with policies customized to the realities of overseas assignments and high-risk operating environments.

The company operates as an insurance broker, earning commission revenue on placed coverage rather than underwriting risk directly. Distribution is relationship-led and direct: customers reach Clements via phone ((202) 872-0060 and (800) 872-0067), web-based inquiry forms, and the company website. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rate cards, reflecting the customized nature of international risk underwriting. The technology footprint is a conventional brokerage and risk management platform with no disclosed AI, API, or proprietary digital channels; the competitive position rests on specialist expertise and carrier relationships rather than technology differentiation.

In a defining corporate event, Clements Worldwide has merged with Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. (NYSE: AJG), one of the world's largest insurance brokers and a Fortune 500 company for nine consecutive years. The combination provides Clements with expanded global resources, carrier access, and cross-selling opportunities while preserving its specialist expertise and program brands (Missions Abroad, Gallagher Scholars, NGO Select). Jon B. Clements serves as Chairman and CEO and Tarun Chopra as President of the Clements operation, which now sits within Gallagher's broader international platform.
