CNA Financial CorporationCNA
Financial sector

Sells commercial property-and-casualty insurance through Specialty, Commercial, and International operations, using brokers and agents to reach U.S. and overseas customers. Underwriting discipline shapes growth, while retained run-off exposures and Loews's controlling ownership remain structural features.

Provides commercial property-and-casualty insurance through Specialty, Commercial, and International. Specialty focuses on management and professional liability, while Commercial serves small businesses, construction, and middle-market customers; International extends coverage beyond the domestic operation, including through Lloyd's.

Distributes through brokers, independent agents, and managing general underwriters. Specialized underwriting, pricing discipline, broker relationships, talent, and technology shape execution, with selective growth favored over volume in difficult markets.

Life & Group and Corporate & Other mainly hold retained or run-off exposures. Results depend on catastrophe exposure, long-tail reserving, regulation, cyber resilience, and finite reinsurance protection on legacy asbestos and environmental liabilities. Loews owns most shares and controls shareholder decisions.
