The financial strength of one of the world's largest insurance groups — worldwide agreed-value coverage for fine art and personal collections.
Tokio Marine HCC is the US specialty insurance arm of Tokio Marine Holdings, one of the world's largest insurance groups by assets and one of Japan's oldest and most respected financial institutions, founded in 1879. In the US personal articles and fine art market, Tokio Marine HCC writes specialist floaters and agreed-value policies backed by the group's extraordinary financial resources — an AM Best A++ Superior rating that sits at the absolute top of the rating scale. For collectors placing significant values with any insurer, the insurer's financial strength is the foundational promise; Tokio Marine HCC's A++ rating is that promise at its strongest.
The personal articles program covers fine art, jewelry, and other high-value personal property on a worldwide agreed-value basis, with coverage that follows the collector and the collection regardless of geographic location. The global claims infrastructure that comes with Tokio Marine group membership is a practical advantage for collectors with international exposure — works on loan to institutions abroad, secondary residences in other countries, or pieces in transit between continents can all be handled by claims professionals with genuine local knowledge and authority.
Tokio Marine HCC operates in the US specialty market with a focused, disciplined underwriting approach — the company does not attempt to be all things to all buyers. Its personal articles program is designed for collectors who want the deepest possible financial backing behind their coverage, and who have meaningful international exposure that benefits from a carrier with genuine global infrastructure. The combination of A++ financial strength and worldwide operational capability makes Tokio Marine HCC a natural fit for a specific and important segment of the collector market.
