Description: KMPR Kemper November 08, 2025

Kemper Corporation (NYSE:KMPR) is a U.S.-based insurance holding company that operates two primary segments: Specialty Property & Casualty (P&C) Insurance, focused on personal and commercial automobile coverage sold through independent agents and brokers, and Life Insurance, which offers individual life, accident, supplemental health, and property policies. The firm, originally founded as Unitrin in 1990, rebranded to Kemper in August 2011 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.

As of the 2023 fiscal year, Kemper reported net written premiums of approximately $13.2 billion, a combined ratio of 96.8% in its P&C segment-indicating underwriting profitability-and a life segment embedded value growth of roughly 5% YoY. Return on equity (ROE) hovered around 8.5%, while the companys capital adequacy ratio remained above the regulatory minimum at 210%.

The segment’s performance is heavily influenced by macro-economic factors such as auto insurance pricing cycles, which are tied to vehicle miles traveled and claims frequency, and by interest-rate environments that affect the discounting of life-insurance liabilities. Additionally, regulatory changes in state insurance solvency standards and the broader shift toward usage-based insurance models present both risk and opportunity for Kemper.
