Originally established in Bermuda in 2000, TMR has remained at the forefront of the reinsurance industry since its inception. In order to diversify its underwriting portfolio, the company has been expanding its business both geographically and through broader product offerings since 2010, including non-catastrophe lines of business.

TMR established operations in Zurich in 2010, Sydney in 2011, the US in 2014 and the UK in 2015 to gain greater access to these regional reinsurance markets. In October 2013, TMR re-domiciled to Switzerland converting the Bermuda operation into a branch. As a subsidiary of the Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd., Japan's oldest and one of its largest non-life insurance companies, TMR is primarily engaged in property, casualty and specialty reinsurance and market solutions products.
