This paper determined the influence of firms’ liquidity on the financial performance of quoted insurance companies in Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive research design. The population of the study consisted of twenty (20) insurance firms listed on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange as of 30th September 2021 covering the periods of 2014 to 2019. The sample size of the study is made up of seven (7) insurance and assurance companies in Nigeria. A simple random sampling technique was employed in selecting the sample size of the study. The study used GLS random-effects regression method to analyze the data of the study. The outcome of the study revealed that the capital adequacy ratio is the major factor that influences the financial performance of quoted insurance firms in Nigeria. The study finally recommended that management of quoted insurance firms in Nigeria should offer their shares to the general public for subscription, this will, in turn, increase their capital/ income, and the outcome would be an investment in viable assets and this will enhance the financial performance in the long run.
