This year, we further balanced our portfolio between our insurance and reinsurance businesses, expanded our global footprint with new offices in Europe and Asia and broadened our insurance distribution channels. Endurance offers products in approximately thirty different specialty lines, including property, casualty, agriculture, healthcare and professional lines insurance and property, catastrophe, casualty, surety and aerospace reinsurance. We seek quality clients with approaches to risk similar to our own, through national, regional and wholesale brokers, as well as independent agents.
We continually evaluate our portfolio, responding to emerging opportunities in the market and investing in specialty expertise to ensure that our offerings meet our clients' needs.
