Insurance is the balance sheet behind almost everything else in these pages: the ships, the aircraft, the buildings, the films and the fortunes. This guide — the second in LIKE® Magazine's Markets department — maps the companies that carry that risk, house by house, at full depth.

The list covers 85 companies and groups in six categories: 15 life and health insurers, 14 property and casualty insurers, 14 composite and multiline groups, 35 reinsurance groups, 6 specialty carriers, and Lloyd's of London as a flagged marketplace reference row — a marketplace, not a carrier. The reinsurance roster follows the AM Best Top 50 Global Reinsurance Groups (the August 2026 edition for ranks 39 to 50 and the 2025 edition for ranks 26 to 38); property and casualty follows AM Best's U.S. ranking of March 20, 2026; composite and life rankings follow the Forbes Global 2000 of 2026.

For each house the guide gives the same full field set: founded; headquarters and offices; ownership, parent and listing; scale figures, dated and labeled by source; the full published leadership — chief executive, chair-level officers, chief financial officer, chief operating officer where the role exists, and senior leadership including the chief actuary where the house publishes one; clients or client categories where published; specialties and lines of business in full; and published contact details. Where a house does not publish a field, the entry says so plainly — not published, or not disclosed — rather than leaving the reader to guess. Named clients are not claimed anywhere: no house in this guide publishes a client roster for this use, so the clients field records client categories only.

Two 2026 changes anchor this edition. On October 1 and 2, 2026, Zurich Insurance Group completed its £8.1 billion all-cash acquisition of Beazley, which was delisted from the London Stock Exchange on October 2; Kristof Terryn serves as chief executive of Beazley and Zurich Global Specialty, subject to regulatory approval, and Helen Pickford as chief financial officer. At Berkshire Hathaway, Greg Abel has served as president and chief executive officer since January 1, 2026; Howard G. Buffett became chairman and Warren E. Buffett chairman emeritus on September 18, 2026, and Ajit Jain continues to lead the insurance operations. The guide was refreshed on October 22, 2026, and the newest entry records Assicurazioni Generali's board-approved restructure of October 21, 2026, which abolishes the general manager role and consolidates the group's markets into five regions from January 2027.

The named gaps are stated, not hidden. Twenty houses publish no named group chief financial officer; 18 publish no further named senior leadership beyond the chief executive and finance lead; 40 publish no headquarters switchboard number; and only four publish a general email address — Deutsche Rück, Peak Re, Africa Re and Taiping Re. TransRe's premiums are not separately disclosed by its parent. Premium and revenue figures are heterogeneous — gross written premiums, net written premiums, insurance revenue and total revenue, from fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2026 depending on the ranking edition and reporting cycle — and each figure is labeled in its entry; they are not directly comparable row to row.

Distinctiveness: An international specialty insurer founded in 1901 with Lloyd's heritage, headquartered in Bermuda and listed in London, writing around $5bn of annual premium. It balances big-ticket internationally traded business — Hiscox London Market and Hiscox Re & ILS — against Hiscox Retail's smaller, less volatile local specialty business across the US, UK, Europe and Asia, and is noted for niche lines including fine art, high-net-worth private client, kidnap and ransom, and small-business professional liability.

Access / how business is placed: The company states it follows an omnichannel distribution strategy: business is placed via insurance brokers, direct to customers (notably its online small-business platform in the US and UK), and through partnerships with banks and other insurers; Lloyd's-syndicate business goes through the Lloyd's broker network. No minimum premium is published; not publicly disclosed.

History: Traces its roots to 1901 as a marine underwriter at Lloyd's of London; Roberts & Hiscox partnership formed in 1946 to manage Lloyd's syndicates.

Opened a Bermuda office in 2005 and redomiciled to Bermuda in 2009, becoming Hiscox Ltd.

Offices: Hamilton, Bermuda (headquarters — Power House, 7 Par-la-Ville Road); London, United Kingdom

Distinctiveness: A London-listed Bermuda/Lloyd's specialty insurer and reinsurer distinguished by explicit cycle management: it deliberately shrinks premium and returns capital in soft markets and scales up rapidly into hard markets, concentrating on short-tail, low-frequency/high-severity risks — property catastrophe, energy, aviation/aerospace, political risk and specialty reinsurance. It writes through a multi-platform architecture of Bermuda company paper, a UK carrier and Lloyd's syndicates, allowing brokers and clients to access the same underwriting through whichever platform fits regulatory and rating needs.

Access / how business is placed: Business is placed through brokers and intermediaries — Lloyd's syndicate business via the Lloyd's broker network, Bermuda/UK company paper via specialist brokers — and through direct specialty placements with corporates and cedents; it has no direct-to-consumer retail channel. No minimum premium or treaty size is published; not publicly disclosed.

History: Founded 2005 in Bermuda by Richard Brindle (formerly of Lloyd's) as a specialty (re)insurer; listed on the London Stock Exchange. Acquired Lloyd's insurer Cathedral Capital Limited for £266m in November 2013, establishing a Lloyd's platform (Cathedral syndicates 2010 and 3010). Brindle retired in April 2014 and was succeeded as Group CEO by Alex Maloney.

Notable notes: LSE: LRE, FTSE 250 constituent. FY2025: profit after tax US$293.4m, ROE 20.9%, discounted combined ratio 83.7%. S&P Global Ratings upgraded its long-term issuer credit and financial strength ratings from A- to A in 2025.

Chair Philip Broadley (previously chair for seven years before moving to Hiscox in 2025) purchased shares in Sept 2026.
