NEW YORK, April 27, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- XL Insurance,  the global insurance operations of XL Group plc (NYSE: XL), today announced XL WorldPath™, a set of global insurance solutions for North America-based multinational companies with cross-border insurance coverages to help address international legal, regulatory and tax compliance considerations.

David Duclos, Chief Executive Officer of XL's global insurance operations, said: "Continued globalization is creating added complexities for risk managers.  They need to be prepared to effectively insure operations and assets anywhere in the world, and remain compliant with all the licensing, tax and regulatory requirements in each individual market.  This can be especially challenging as more companies explore new business opportunities in emerging markets where there is less familiarity with local requirements. XL WorldPath provides options to address our clients' risk management needs wherever they do business."
