What marsh spa does

Marsh is a global insurance brokerage and risk advisory firm headquartered in New York, founded in 1871, and operating as a subsidiary of Marsh McLennan Companies (NYSE: MMC). The firm serves enterprise clients across more than 130 countries and territories, providing insurance brokerage, claims advocacy, risk consulting, captive insurance management, and alternative risk transfer services. Its practice coverage spans 30+ industries including financial institutions, energy, manufacturing, healthcare, life sciences, transportation, and technology, with dedicated multinational advisory teams that coordinate cross-border placements.

The firm's technology layer is anchored by the Blue[i] analytics suite, which includes Blue[i] Claims, Blue[i] Casualty, Blue[i] Cyber, Blue[i] D&O, Blue[i] Property, Blue[i] Risk Appetite, Blue[i] Risk Finance Optimization, and Blue[i] Risk Program Analytics. These products aggregate carrier and TPA data for benchmarking, apply predictive modeling and anomaly detection to flag complex claims early, and deploy generative-AI chatbots to handle injured-employee inquiries. Supporting platforms include Sentrisk for supply chain risk visibility, Captive Companion for captive program management, and parametric insurance solutions for event-triggered payouts. Marsh Captive Solutions, the firm's captive management arm, oversees approximately 1,900 captives across 55 domiciles, representing roughly one in four captives worldwide, with US$70 billion+ in premium volume and nearly US$120 billion in surplus.

Marsh generates revenue through three primary streams: insurance brokerage commissions earned as a percentage of premiums placed with carriers across property, casualty, health, and benefits lines; professional services fees for risk consulting, claims advocacy, and captive advisory; and managed services fees for ongoing captive administration, actuarial work, and program support. Distribution is conducted entirely through direct enterprise sales teams, industry practice specialists, and regional/local offices, supplemented by content marketing (Global Insurance Market Index, Global Risks Report, Political Risk Report), the Risk in Context podcast, industry events, and a Formula 1 Official Partnership. The firm does not publicly disclose pricing, which is structured as negotiated commissions and fees tied to client risk profiles, coverage requirements, and market conditions.
