What drives our Company?

The pace of events – the velocity of change – is evident throughout our personal and professional lives. New approaches to capital, risk assessment, and investment demands disciplined execution. Businesses must excel in their field of expertise with a clear view towards the elements of change. We do, but we believe in five key qualities that constitute the Odyssey Edge

Strong

Strength is fundamental to any financial service. Capital, capacity and continuity combine to fortify the relationship with our clients and brokers. Financial strength requires scale, foresighted management and long-range investment skill.

Skilled

OdysseyRe is an underwriting company. We insist on a technical approach to underwriting and rating risk, informed by broad knowledge of the underlying exposures, economic trends, and loss costs. We provide versatility by employing underwriting specialists across all aspects of property and casualty reinsurance and specialty insurance.

Quick

Speed is vital. It can be found in an underwriter’s willingness to jump on a plane to try to solve a problem, a claim paid without delay, a call returned quickly. It’s called responsive. There’s even an acronym for it: ASAP.

Diverse

Diversification strengthens the durability of the promises we make. Among top reinsurers, OdysseyRe is one of the best diversified by cedant and broker source, by geography and by product lines.

Global

OdysseyRe’s ability to adapt to international markets in pursuit of taking calculated risk has been key to our success. Employing our financial and technical resources has enabled OdysseyRe to become a recognized and valued partner on an international basis. Overall, we are meeting today’s challenges and opportunities.
