Assured Guaranty Ltd. is a leading provider of financial guaranty insurance, ensuring timely payment of principal and interest on debt obligations including municipal bonds, infrastructure project finance, and structured finance. The company insures bonds issued by U.S. states, municipalities, utilities, and other public entities, as well as international infrastructure and public finance obligations. Assured Guaranty's insurance enables issuers to access capital markets at lower interest rates by providing credit enhancement. The company generates revenue through insurance premiums paid at policy issuance and over the life of insured obligations. Assured Guaranty also provides asset management services and monitors its insured portfolio to mitigate losses. The company maintains strong capital ratios and claims-paying resources to support its financial strength ratings. Headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, with U.S. operations in New York, Assured Guaranty was formed in 2004 and has become the dominant player in municipal bond insurance following the financial crisis. The company benefits from infrastructure investment needs, municipal finance market requirements, and its established franchise while managing long-tail insurance risk and evolving regulatory frameworks.
