Zurich Insurance Group reported stronger insurance volumes for the first nine months of 2026, with property and casualty gross written premiums rising 7 percent on a comparable basis to 42.1 billion US dollars. The update, released on Thursday, November 12, was covered by Ad Hoc News.

Premium growth spans core businesses

Higher rates in Zurich's retail business supported the property and casualty performance. Life gross written premiums reached 28.6 billion US dollars, up 3 percent on a comparable basis, with protection and unit-linked products providing the strongest growth.

Farmers Exchanges, which are owned by policyholders and served by Zurich, increased gross written premiums by 4 percent to 23.5 billion US dollars. Zurich also completed the acquisition of UK specialty insurer Beazley on October 1, adding scale to its specialty insurance platform.

Capital and targets remain in focus

Zurich's estimated Swiss Solvency Test ratio stood at 271 percent on September 30. The company said this was two percentage points above the expectation in its company-provided analyst poll.

Chief Financial Officer Claudia Cordioli said the group's diversified business model and disciplined approach supported confidence in exceeding all targets. Zurich's 2025-2027 program targets compound annual growth of more than 9 percent and core return on equity above 23 percent.
