James River Group Holdings, Inc. JRVR
James River Group Holdings, Inc. owns and operates a group of specialty property and casualty insurance companies focused on underwriting small and middle market casualty risks within the U.S. excess and surplus ("E&S") lines market. For the year ended December 31, 2025, approximately 84.5% of our gross written premiums and 95.9% of our net written premiums originated from the E&S lines market, which we believe puts us among the top publicly traded insurers as ranked by highest concentrations of E&S risk. Substantially all of our business is casualty insurance, and for the year ended December 31, 2025, 96.7% of our gross written premiums were derived from casualty insurance. Our objective is to generate compelling returns on tangible common equity, while limiting underwriting and investment volatility. We seek to accomplish this by earning profits from insurance underwriting and generating meaningful risk-adjusted investment returns, while efficiently managing our capital.

As the company reported it, from the “Segment Information - Schedule of Segment Results (Details)” note of its latest 10-K. Every figure here has been checked against the total revenue the same filing reported. Segments are the filer's own reporting structure, which is a decision about how it runs itself rather than a standard taxonomy: two companies in the same industry routinely divide themselves along different lines, so these are worth reading down a single company rather than across two. Slices under 1% are folded into “Other”.
