Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd/ Can

A Canadian holding company that owns a family of property-and-casualty insurers and reinsurers, including Brit, Odyssey Group, and Crum & Forster, which protect homes, businesses, and ships around the world. It was born in 1985 when founder Prem Watsa took over a struggling trucking insurer and renamed it Fairfax — shorthand for "fair and friendly acquisitions," reflecting his golden-rule approach to buying companies.
