AXIS Capital Holdings Limited AXS

Company Overview

AXIS Capital Holdings Limited is a global specialty insurer and reinsurer operating in the insurance and reinsurance industries. The company provides coverage for complex and high-risk exposures that are typically underserved by standard insurance markets, focusing on specialty commercial insurance and specialty reinsurance. AXIS Capital’s revenue is primarily generated through underwriting premiums and investment income derived from its insurance and reinsurance portfolios.

Founded in 2001 and incorporated in Bermuda, AXIS Capital was established by industry veterans to capitalize on improved pricing conditions following market dislocation in the global insurance sector. Over time, the company evolved from a reinsurer-centric platform into a diversified specialty insurer and reinsurer, expanding its product offerings, geographic reach, and underwriting expertise through organic growth and targeted acquisitions. AXIS Capital is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker AXS.
