We have established ourselves as a world leader in general insurance by providing high level solutions to complex risks on behalf of our customers and partners. Backed by 90 years of outstanding underwriting experience, our fundamental strength lies in an extensive international network and talented employees who serve more than 70 million clients around the world and hundreds of innovative products and services.

Chartis Far East Holdings K.K., our regional headquarters for Japan is based in Tokyo, and provides business management services for Chartis companies in the region.

The history of Chartis companies in Japan dates back to 1946 when AIU Insurance Company began operations as the first foreign general insurance company in Japan in the postwar period. We have continued to deliver innovative products and services focusing on our customers' needs and have built solid and trusting relationships with our clients for more than 60 years.

In 1960 American Home began operations in Japan and later became the first insurer to offer direct auto insurance underwriting in the local market. Following the innovative tradition and pioneering spirit of AIU, Chartis has steadily expanded its business in Japan. In 1989, JI Accident & Fire Insurance was founded as a joint venture with JTB (Japan Travel Bureau), the world's largest travel agency.

In 2010, Chartis welcomed the addition of Fuji Fire and Marine Insurance to the group. Fuji Fire and Marine has a proud and distinguished history with deep roots of its own in the Japanese market for over 90 years. With Fuji Fire and Marine, the presence of Chartis in the Japanese general insurance industry is enhanced even further.

As we face change in the world around us today, Chartis, as it has throughout its history, will embrace change and continue to strive forward for success in the future. That is because we believe that progress always awaits us as a result of change. We continue to search for ideal opportunities for our clients, partners and for ourselves. and as our name suggests, we aim at all times to chart a path for our mutual success.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our customers and partners for their great confidence in us and we look forward to your continuing support.
