About the Company

Cincinnati Financial Corporation stands among the 25 largest property casualty insurers in the nation, based on premium volume. A select group of independent agencies actively markets our business, home and auto insurance within their communities. These agents offer our standard market commercial lines policies in 39 states, personal lines policies in 29 and excess and surplus lines policies in 38 of these same states. Within this select group, we seek to become the life insurance carrier of choice and to help agents and their clients - our policyholders - by offering leasing and financing services.

For 60 years, three competitive advantages have distinguished our company, positioning us to build value and long-term success:

  • Commitment to our network of professional independent insurance agencies and to their continued success
  • Financial strength that lets us be a consistent market for our agents' business, supporting stability and confidence
  • Operating structure that supports local decision making, showcasing the strength of our claims service, field underwriting and field support services

These advantages help us to balance growth with underwriting discipline in a competitive environment.
