About The Travelers Companies, Inc.
About The Travelers Companies, Inc.
Business Insurance, Travelers' largest segment, generated $22,679 million in net written premiums in 2025, with domestic markets contributing 91.5% of segment volume and California representing 13.2% of Business Insurance direct written premiums. The company has underwritten property and casualty insurance since 1853, distributes products through thousands of independent agents and brokers, and is regulated by state insurance departments in each jurisdiction where it writes risk.
Travelers' revenue model spans three distinct premium structures: guaranteed-cost policies where premiums are fixed; loss-sensitive products (large deductible and retrospectively rated) where premiums adjust for actual loss experience; and fee-based service programs sold mainly to large National Accounts customers. The National Accounts division services approximately 38% of the total workers' compensation assigned risk market, making it one of the largest servicing carriers for involuntary placements. Within the domestic mix, commercial multi-peril accounted for 26.1% of Business Insurance domestic net written premiums in 2025, with commercial automobile at 18.1% and commercial property at 16.3%. International operations — through subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, and Lloyd's Syndicate 5000 — contributed 8.5% of Business Insurance segment premiums. Effective January 1, 2026, the company renewed a quota share reinsurance agreement with Fidelis Insurance Holdings, assuming 20% of Fidelis's subject gross written premiums on a risk-attaching basis.
Show full overview
California is the largest single-state exposure, representing 10.6% of total consolidated direct written premiums and 13.2% of Business Insurance segment direct written premiums in 2025. The January 2025 California wildfires resulted in assessments to insurers from the California FAIR Plan — an example of how state regulatory responses to catastrophes could compound loss costs beyond original policy exposure. The 10-K notes that states have at times restricted insurers from withdrawing from catastrophe-prone areas or limited their ability to increase prices, constraining the company's ability to adjust underwriting in its largest premium geography.
