As new economies grow, insurance companies expand into new countries, offering specialised insurance products and, in the process, creating gigantic conglomerates. Insurance businesses have been able to expand their activities across borders thanks to globalisation, technology, expanding markets, and favourable political climates. Most of these companies have interests in a variety of industries and their insurance subsidiaries generate billions of dollars in revenue. The following are the top insurance firms that made the most money in 2015.
