Sompo Holdings was formed in 2010 through the merger of Sompo Japan and Nipponkoa Insurance. The Sompo brand—meaning "nonlife insurance" in Japanese—dates to 2001, when Yasuda Fire, Nissan Fire, and Taisei Fire combined. Today, Sompo maintains a formidable position in its home market, holding an approximate 28% share of domestic nonlife insurance premiums in Japan, operating in a consolidated oligopoly alongside larger rivals Tokio Marine and MS&AD. Following record-high profitability in fiscal 2025 and the transformative acquisition of Aspen Insurance, the group is aggressively expanding its global footprint, with overseas business and reinsurance now functioning as its primary profit engines, contributing over half of the group's adjusted consolidated profit.
