Berkshire's NICO pays Hartford $1.12bn to commute reinsurance cover.

Berkshire's NICO pays Hartford $1.12bn to commute reinsurance cover. 28th September 2026 - Author: Kane Wells - The Hartford Insurance Group has agreed to commute and terminate its aggregate excess of loss reinsurance agreement with National Indemnity Company (NICO), a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary, ending cover for asbestos and environmental adverse development that has been in place since December 31, 2016. Hartford Fire Insurance Company and certain affiliates entered into the commutation and release agreement with NICO on September 23. On September 25, Hartford Fire received a $1.12bn cash payment, and the parties terminated the reinsurance agreement and related transaction documents and released each other from their obligations. The transaction also resolves a confidential arbitration over a dispute under the agreement. Hartford expects to recognise a $497m pre-tax net gain and a $393m increase in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, with no impact on core earnings. The company said the gain reflects the release of deferred gain on retroactive reinsurance following the commutation.

The History Of The Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting

"If you're lucky in life, make sure that a bunch of other people are lucky, too." – Warren BuffettIn the fourth-floor lunchroom of the National Indemnity Company building in Omaha, Nebraska, a hand-lettered sign once hung on closed double doors: "Meeting in Progress." Inside, beside vending machines and a coffee maker, Warren Buffett called to order the annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, with approximately 20 attendees present. The perfunctory business was dispensed with in just five minutes. Then Buffett offered: "I've got an hour, and if anybody wants to stick around and talk about the investment business, I'm available."This modest gathering in the 1970s bears little resemblance to today's extravaganza that draws tens of thousands of investors from around the world to Omaha. The transformation of this annual shareholder meeting mirrors the remarkable journey of Berkshire Hathaway itself – from a struggling textile mill to a $1 trillion conglomerate under Buffett's leadership.The Humble BeginningsWhen Buffett gained control of Berkshire Hathaway in 1965, the company was a failing textile business. His first major move toward diversification came in 1967 with the acquisition of National Indemnity Company for $8.6 million, marking Berkshire's entry into the insurance industry.From 1969 to 1979, those early shareholder meetings were indeed held in National Indemnity's lunchroom, with attendance rarely exceeding two dozen people. Most were friends, family, and early investors who had placed their trust in a young Warren Buffett, well before he became a household name in finance.The Growth YearsAs Berkshire's portfolio and prestige grew through the 1980s, so did the annual meeting
