Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, the company operates through wholly owned subsidiaries in the United States, United Kingdom, Bermuda, and branches in Canada, Singapore, and Switzerland, serving clients in Australia, Asia, Europe, North America, and other international markets primarily via brokers and intermediaries. Its Insurance segment provides property and casualty insurance; marine, aviation, and energy insurance; financial and professional lines insurance including cyber risk, crisis management, and business interruption; first-party insurance; specialty insurance encompassing environmental, credit, and political risks; as well as casualty insurance; while the Reinsurance segment offers property catastrophe reinsurance, other property reinsurance, casualty reinsurance, and specialty reinsurance products tailored to complex risks.
Aspen targets diverse customer types including corporations, institutions, and specialty market participants seeking bespoke risk management, with gross written premiums reaching $4.6 billion, net income of $431 million, and a combined operating ratio of 86.8% for year-end 2024.
