Markel Group Inc.

Investment Strategy

Markel Group pursues a long-term, value-oriented investment approach anchored in specialty insurance underwriting and broad asset management. Its strategy combines insurance operations—where disciplined underwriting generates float—with investments in public fixed-income and equity securities, including a significant portfolio of publicly traded bonds and stocks. Through Markel Ventures, the Group invests directly in and actively manages a diverse array of operating businesses outside of insurance, seeking to generate stable, long-term returns. In insurance-linked securities, Markel invests through subsidiaries such as Nephila, emphasizing catastrophe bonds and insurance swaps, uniquely blending insurance expertise with asset management to serve institutional, pension, and individual investors.
