Insurance is our business

Zurich operates three main segments. Our General Insurance segment offers property and casualty insurance products and services to individuals, small businesses, mid-sized and large companies and multinational corporations. Global Life offers a broad range of life insurance, investments, savings and pension propositions to individuals and groups. Global Life is managed globally and focused on local customer and distributor needs. Farmers, the third-largest personal property and casualty insurer in the United States, is our main market brand for personal insurance there. All of us aim to operate under one consistent and uniform way of doing business The Zurich Way and all of us contribute to achieving our common goal of becoming the best global insurer as defined by our customers, our shareholders and our people.

For information on how these segments performed, as well as the performance of our Group overall, see our latest annual report.
