About the Company

Hiscox

Specialized insurer for high-net-worth risks.

Hiscox is a specialized insurer that focuses on high-net-worth individuals and complex, niche risks (including fine art, kidnapping, and other unconventional coverages). It underwrites and issues insurance policies through its global operations, built on Lloyd's heritage and expanded after re-domiciling to Bermuda to operate in 13 countries. Its products work by assessing and underwriting tailored insurance contracts for specific, often hard-to-place risks, with coverage and claims handling aligned to the insured’s needs. The company differentiates itself from competitors by concentrating on specialized, hard-to-place risks rather than mass-market insurance, maintaining independence, and leveraging deep underwriting expertise and a global footprint. Its goal is to grow as a focused, independent specialist insurer that serves ambitious clients worldwide and expands its geographic reach and capabilities.
