 PROFILE
The ever-alliterative Fairfax Financial is an international holding company that generates more than 80% of its sales from insurance and reinsurance. Its holdings include a complete line of insurance products, from personal, group, and commercial to trucking, oil, and gas insurance. The firm also provides investment management services, as well as claims adjusting and brokerage services through its stake in Lindsey Morden Group. After acquiring The Resolution Group, Fairfax now has a runoff operations division. CEO Prem Watsa's unorthodox business strategies have been compared to those of Warren Buffett; Watsa's Sixty Two Investment owns about 56% of Fairfax. The company bought Sen-Tech International Holdings.
