A Distinguished History
With the 1999 acquisition of CIGNA’s worldwide property and
casualty business, ACE inherited a distinguished history dating
back to 1792 when the Insurance Company of North America (INA)
was founded as the first U.S. based marine insurance company.
By removing financial risk
from the dangers of ocean commerce, INA helped the young
U.S. shipping industry flourish. Its historic ability to
accumulate, diversify and manage volatile risks in a way
that provides security to its clients helped transform
INA into the respected insurance leader it is today.
INA continually strived to break through established
barriers to develop new products and new markets - a
tradition the ACE Group of Companies continues today.
