James River Group Holdings, Ltd.
("James River Holdings", or "the Company")
is a Bermuda-based insurance holding company. We own and
operate a group of specialty insurance and reinsurance companies founded by
members of our management team. For the year ended December 31, 2016,
approximately 80% of our group-wide net written premiums originated from the
U.S. excess and surplus ("E&S") lines market. Substantially all
of our business is casualty insurance and reinsurance, and for the year ended
December 31, 2016, we derived 99% of our group-wide net written premiums from
casualty insurance and reinsurance. Our objective is to generate compelling
returns on tangible equity, while limiting underwriting and investment
volatility. We seek to accomplish this by earning profits from insurance and
reinsurance underwriting on a consistent basis while managing our capital
opportunistically to grow tangible equity per share for our shareholders. Our
group includes three specialty property-casualty insurance and reinsurance
segments: Excess and Surplus Lines, Specialty Admitted Insurance and Casualty
Reinsurance. In all of our segments, we tend to focus on accounts associated
with small or medium-sized businesses.
