The company operates in two main segments: Property & Casualty (covering risks like natural disasters, cyber, aviation, marine, and agriculture) and Life & Health (covering mortality, disability, longevity, and critical illness risks) [Company Overview]. They serve insurers worldwide, helping them manage extreme risks they can't handle alone.
