AXS

AXIS Capital Holdings Limited (NYSE:AXS) is a Bermuda-based specialty insurance and reinsurance company founded in 2001 and publicly traded since 2003. The company emerged from the post-9/11 insurance market disruption as part of the wave of Bermuda-based insurers that capitalized on market opportunities created by capacity shortages and hardening rates. Today, AXIS operates as a global specialty underwriter focused on complex commercial risks, serving clients worldwide through its insurance and reinsurance segments. The company has undergone significant strategic transformation in recent years, shifting away from catastrophe-exposed property lines toward shorter-tail specialty products and maintaining disciplined underwriting standards.
