QBE Insurance Group
QBE Insurance Group is Standard & Poor’s A+ rated and one of the world’s leading insurers and reinsurers with operations in all the key insurance markets and over 16,000 employees worldwide. For year ended 31 December 2011, QBE’s gross written premium was £11,400 million.
Our underlying business strategy is to maintain operations in the key global insurance markets and, where possible, to be a lead underwriter for selected lines of business, setting rates and conditions in the markets in which we operate.
QBE Group’s strategy of diversification by product and geographical exposure is fundamental to managing our insurance and reinsurance risks and has been a vital ingredient in the Group’s success. We have developed and embedded a unique QBE culture throughout the organisation based on key essential behaviours and applying effective risk management practices and controls.
We aim to grow the business through our existing extensive networks and acquisitions of insurance businesses, portfolios and teams of underwriters that meet our stringent criteria for minimum return on equity and EPS accretion in the first year of acquisition. QBE Insurance Group has successfully delivered more than 135 acquisitions since our first acquisition in 1982 and has grown substantially, particularly over the last 10 years.
