Assured Guaranty Ltd.

Bond insurer guaranteeing municipal, infrastructure and structured finance debt

What Assured Guaranty does

Assured Guaranty insures bonds and other debt. If a borrower such as a city, utility, hospital or infrastructure project misses a scheduled payment, it pays bondholders what they are owed. It works mainly in the U.S. but also internationally, and it runs an asset management business as well.

How Assured Guaranty makes money

It collects premiums from debt issuers, underwriters and investors in exchange for guaranteeing scheduled debt payments, which can make the insured bonds cheaper to issue and easier to sell. It also earns fees from specialty insurance, reinsurance and investment advisory services.
