• ALLEGHANY CORP DEL Profile

    After a spell as an conglomerate with interests ranging from minerals to steel fasteners, Alleghany has found that it really prefers property/casualty insurance, with a smattering of good-old real estate. Alleghany's subsidiaries include Capitol Transamerica (property/casualty, fidelity, and surety insurance) and Darwin Professional Underwriters (55% owned), which writes specialty property/casualty insurance. (Allied World Assurance has agreed to acquire Darwin.) The company's RSUI Group is a leading underwriter of wholesale specialty insurance while its Employers Direct Insurance provides workers' compensation coverage. Alleghany also has commercial and residential real estate interests in California.
