Alleghany Corporation
Alleghany Corporation is a holding company engaged in property and casualty reinsurance and insurance through its subsidiaries, with additional investments in non-financial businesses held via Alleghany Capital. Founded in 1929 by railroad entrepreneurs Oris and Mantis Van Sweringen, the company transitioned over decades from rail holdings into specialty insurance and reinsurance, and is headquartered at One Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. Its principal insurance subsidiaries are Transatlantic Reinsurance Company (TransRe), a global reinsurer founded in 1977 with roughly 600 employees across 23 offices and more than $40 billion in claims paid to date; RSUI Group, a wholesale excess and surplus (E&S) underwriter spanning Property, Casualty, Professional Liability, Management Liability, and Binding Authority lines; and CapSpecialty, a specialty casualty and surety underwriter. Alleghany Capital holds non-insurance operating companies including toy and collectibles maker Jazwares (Squishmallows, Pokémon, Roblox, Fortnite licensed lines). On March 21, 2022, Berkshire Hathaway announced an $11.6 billion all-cash acquisition of Alleghany at $848.02 per share, which closed in October 2022. Alleghany now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, contributing approximately $8.8 billion in 2025 gross premiums written and roughly $14 billion in insurance float to the parent. As a holding company whose operating units distribute exclusively through reinsurance intermediaries, wholesale brokers, and independent agents, Alleghany and its subsidiaries do not publish a developer portal, OpenAPI specifications, SDKs, or any other machine-readable API artifacts; the only digital surfaces exposed publicly are gated broker and agent login portals.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Alleghany Corporation the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Alleghany Corporation scores 8.3/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
