At the end of the 19th century, a reinsurance broker in Austria decided to classify his multitude of Contacts in a systematic manner. He saw the importance of a reliable and comprehensive source of information on insurance and reinsurance businesses. As his list became more and more in demand, he decided in 1893 to publish it in a directory: Assecuranz Compass.

Today, over 100 years later, Assecuranz Compass has undergone dramatic changes over time, but the philosophy remains the same, to provide valuable and up-to-date information in a rapidly changing business environment. Users of Assecuranz Compass are able to find detailed and comprehensive information on active companies in their or other industry sectors quickly and easily whether doing so nationally or internationally. The extent of information available, coupled to easy to use and comprehensive indexes allows a level of research otherwise unavailable on a global basis.
