Description: HIG Hartford Financial December 04, 2025
The Hartford Insurance Group, Inc. (NYSE:HIG) operates four primary businesses: (1) Business Insurance, which underwrites a broad suite of commercial coverages-including workers’ compensation, property, liability, marine and reinsurance-through a network of regional offices, agents and brokers; (2) Personal Insurance, focused on auto, homeowners and personal umbrella policies sold both directly and via independent agents; (3) Employee Benefits, delivering group life, disability, voluntary benefits and leave-management solutions to employers and associations; and (4) Hartford Funds, which manages mutual funds and ETFs across multiple asset classes and provides related investment-management services.
Key performance indicators from the most recent fiscal year show a combined ratio of roughly 96% in the commercial lines segment, indicating modest underwriting profitability, while the Personal Insurance segment posted a loss ratio near 71% and a combined ratio just under 100%, reflecting pricing pressure from rising auto repair costs. Net income for 2023 was about $1.5 billion, yielding a return on equity (ROE) of ~11%, and the company’s investment portfolio benefitted from a higher-for-longer interest-rate environment, a sector driver that can boost investment income but also raises the cost of policyholder claims tied to inflation. The firm’s exposure to U.S. economic cycles-particularly small-business employment trends that affect workers’ compensation and group-benefits volumes-remains a material risk factor.
