QBE Buoyed by Higher Premium Rates and Investment Income
QBE Insurance is an international property and casualty insurance company with over USD 21 billion of annual gross written premiums. It writes about 20% of its annual premiums in its home region of Australia and New Zealand and 35% in North America. QBE is predominantly focused on specialty insurance lines, but the offering is extremely wide-ranging across property, auto insurance, agriculture, public/product liability, professional indemnity, workers compensation, marine, energy and aviation, and accident and health. The size and diversity of insurance is built on the back of hundreds of acquisitions made over decades.
