Tokio Marine Plans Global Expansion, Eyes US Growth
Tokio Marine, a big Japanese insurance company, is looking to buy other companies around the world to grow.
The new boss, Masahiro Koike, wants to find good deals, especially outside of Japan, although the US is still important.
Tokio Marine has already bought some companies in the US and other places, spending billions of dollars.
The company is also selling off some of its old investments and using the money to give back to shareholders and make new investments.
