Aspen Lists on New York Stock Exchange

On Thursday May 8, 2025, Aspen proudly marked a defining milestone by officially listing on the New York Stock Exchange. This achievement reflects years of dedication, perseverance, and a collective commitment to excellence—reinforcing our position as a top-quartile specialty (re)insurer. The following are reflections from two employees who attended the event.

The journey to this milestone was filled with collaboration, resilience, and dedication from the teams across Legal, HR, Communications, Strategy, Operations, and Finance. Seeing it all come to life was truly special. The day began early at 7:45 AM with security checks and entry into the NYSE building. The sight of the huge facade was breathtaking, but what awaited us inside was even more overwhelming. Every screen was branded with Aspen, creating a sea of green that was both impressive and humbling.

Mark C’s speech on Aspen and the significance of the Aspen tree was uplifting. He spoke about the Aspen journey and how it represents the values we pride ourselves on. Mark C said, “Aspen is committed to supporting businesses in taking calculated risks, helping them grow, and providing clarity in an ever-changing market.

Today’s milestone is a testament to our dedication and the hard work of our incredible team.” The resilience the teams showed throughout this journey was remarkable, and seeing the project come to life at the NYSE was a testament to all the hard work and dedication.

The opening bell ceremony itself was a spectacle. The energy in the room was high as we gathered around the podium. The countdown began, and as the bell rang, the room erupted in applause and cheers. It was a moment of pure exhilaration, knowing that all the hard work had led to this significant milestone. Seeing Aspen’s name and ticker symbol displayed prominently on the screens was a surreal experience. The sense of accomplishment and pride was truly overwhelming.

Standing on the trading floor, surrounded by the buzz of activity and seeing our hard work displayed on every screen, was a moment I will cherish forever. It reminded me of the power of teamwork and the importance of perseverance. This journey has reinforced my belief that with dedication and collaboration, extraordinary things can be achieved.

When I was asked to join a cohort of colleagues to attend Aspen’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), I knew it was going to be an unforgettable experience—but I didn’t fully grasp just how profound the moment would be until I was standing inside that iconic building, watching history unfold.

Aspen’s journey to the NYSE wasn’t just a corporate milestone; it was the result of six years of relentless effort, strategic planning, and unwavering dedication from teams across the business. From underwriters to finance to operations, every single department played a pivotal role in making this moment possible. Seeing the culmination of all that work was a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when talented people come together toward a shared goal.

The branding effort at the NYSE was spectacular. From the massive monitors outside the building displaying our logo and key messages, to the lifts, screens, and banners inside, Aspen was everywhere. Seeing the strength of our brand showcased at the heart of the global financial community made it clear: we weren’t just listing on the NYSE—we were making a statement.

As the day wrapped up, I took a moment to soak in the significance of what I had just witnessed. This was more than a corporate achievement—it was a celebration of teamwork, perseverance, and vision. Aspen’s NYSE listing marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, and I couldn’t be prouder to have been part of this experience.

For all of us at Aspen, the road ahead is full of opportunity. This moment serves as a powerful reminder of what we can accomplish together—and I can’t wait to see where we go next.
