Connecticut is #1 in the United States for insurance employees per capita. However, our fame as the Insurance Capital of the World began more than two centuries ago, with the founding of America's first insurance companies.

Today, Connecticut is a place where innovative ideas in insurance coverage, risk services, captive management, reinsurance and related services continued to be realized.
