About us

Colonnade was established to “house” the businesses acquired by Fairfax from QBE Insurance (Europe) Limited („QBE“), 

a UK regulated insurance company, which were constituted as branches in each of Hungary, Slovakia and Czech Republic. Colonnade has commenced underwriting activities in Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic in 2016.

In October 2016, Fairfax entered into an agreement with American International Group, Inc. (“AIG”) to acquire the renewal rights of AIG’s portfolio of local business written by its subsidiary AIG Europe Limited in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Poland (the “AIG Business”). 

It is intended that this business will be written by Colonnade, who also assumes AIG’s operating assets and employees. Under the agreement, Colonnade will carry out the claims handling and administration of the AIG business written by AIG historically on behalf of AIG.
