Heritage

[edit | edit source]

White Mountains Insurance Group began in the early 1980s by John J. Byrne, the man recruited by American Express to turn around troubled property and casualty insurer Fireman's Fund.[3] When Byrne took Fireman's Fund public in 1985, it was the largest IPO in American history,[4] and the insurer was sold to Allianz six years later.[5] Upon completion of the Fireman's Fund sale in 1991, the remaining holding company and residual assets formed the starting point for the future White Mountains.[3]

In December 2020, the company reported book value per share of $1,000.[1]
