NEW YORK, August 1, 2019 – Assurant, Inc. (NYSE:AIZ), a leading global provider of housing and lifestyle solutions that support, protect and connect major consumer purchases, has been named to the Ward's 50 list of top performing property and casualty companies for the 13th consecutive year. Assurant was recognized for outstanding financial results in the areas of safety, consistency and performance over a five-year period (2014 - 2018).

“Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our nearly 15,000 employees, we have been able to deliver strong financial results and are well-positioned to drive continued outperformance,” said Assurant President and CEO Alan Colberg. “This year we celebrate 15 years as a public company.
