Description: HIG Hartford Financial September 29, 2025
The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (NYSE:HIG) operates through four primary segments: Business Insurance, Personal Insurance, Employee Benefits, and Hartford Funds, delivering a broad mix of property-and-casualty coverages, group employee benefits, and investment products across the United States, the United Kingdom, and other international markets.
In the Business Insurance segment, Hartford underwrites workers’ compensation, commercial property, auto, liability, marine, and specialty lines (e.g., asbestos and environmental exposure) via a network of regional offices, independent agents, and wholesale partners. The segment’s 2023 combined ratio was 93.5%, indicating underwriting profitability before investment income.
The Personal Insurance segment focuses on auto, homeowners, and personal umbrella policies sold through direct-to-consumer channels and independent agents. As of Q2 2025, personal lines contributed roughly 22% of total written premium, with a modest loss-ratio compression driven by improved pricing discipline.
The Employee Benefits segment provides group life, disability, and ancillary coverages to employer groups, leveraging both direct policies and reinsurance arrangements. It also offers administration and leave-management solutions, distributing products through brokers, TPAs, and private exchanges. In 2023, employee-benefits premiums grew 5% year-over-year, reflecting steady demand for voluntary benefits amid a tight labor market.
Hartford Funds manages a suite of mutual funds and ETFs across equity, fixed-income, and alternative asset classes. Distribution channels include broker-dealers, financial advisors, and defined-contribution plans. The asset-under-management base reached $45 billion at year-end 2023, with an average expense ratio of 0.68% across the fund lineup.
Key financial drivers for HIG include its investment portfolio yield (approximately 4.2% in 2023), a return on equity of 11.5%, and a dividend yield near 2.6%. The company’s earnings are sensitive to interest-rate movements (which affect investment income) and to the commercial-line underwriting cycle, which can be amplified by climate-related loss trends.
