FM Global provides commercial and industrial property insurance to large corporations, funded by premiums from its policyholder-owners.

Unlike many insurers, FM Global is owned by its policyholders, aligning interests to prevent losses rather than only paying claims. Its goal is to help asset-heavy clients avoid losses and maintain financial stability through science-based risk management.
