The acquisition, which follows a series of cyber-focused investments by Zurich, will help the Swiss insurer significantly expand its foothold in specialty insurance, encompassing areas such as cyber, marine, aviation, space and fine art. Days after Zurich struck the deal with Beazley, it also agreed to buy Generali’s Irish property/casualty operations for €337 million ($394.69 million). Last year, it acquired Canadian cyber insurtech Boxx Insurance, after backing the company in earlier funding rounds. In 2024, it had invested $60 million in California-based Cowbell. Earlier in March, Zurich raised 3.9 billion Swiss francs ($4.98 billion) in a share sale to help finance the Beazley acquisition, after the British insurer accepted an improved offer of up to 1,335 pence per share. The transaction remains subject to court sanction, which Beazley said it expects will take place in the second half of 2026.
