Endurance Specialty hopes it has what it takes to endure the rough and tumble world of commercial insurance and reinsurance. The firm's specialty insurance underwriting operations include crop and livestock insurance, health care liability coverage for hospitals, and professional coverage for corporate officers; it also writes some general property/casualty lines. The company offers various reinsurance policies, with a focus on catastrophe coverage. Other reinsurance offerings include marine, aerospace, and surety lines. Endurance Specialty is domiciled in Bermuda and has additional offices in the US and the UK, as well as Singapore and Switzerland. Sompo Holdings is buying Endurance for $6.3 billion.
