Helvetia is a Swiss insurance group offering a broad range of property, casualty, life and specialty insurance products for private and corporate customers, including cover for storm and weather-related damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure. In periods when storm claims mount, property and casualty portfolios are tested, and the way Helvetia manages these exposures becomes a central point of interest for shareholders.
