A Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU®) is an insurance professional who has earned the CPCU designation, conferred by The Institutes, the leading provider of professional education for the risk management and property-casualty insurance industry for over 100 years.

Less than 3% of insurance professionals globally achieve this designation, CPCUs are further bound by an Ethical Code which requires them to put the needs of their clients before their own interests.

CPCUs are considered to be property-casualty insurance subject matter experts.
