Description: UNM Unum October 30, 2025
Unum Group (NYSE: UNM) is a long-standing provider of employer-sponsored benefit solutions, operating in the United States, United Kingdom, and Poland through its Unum US, Unum International, Colonial Life, and Closed Block segments.
The product suite spans group long-term and short-term disability, group life, accidental death & dismemberment, as well as supplemental voluntary benefits such as individual disability, dental, vision, cancer, and critical-illness coverage. It also offers group pension administration, corporate-owned life insurance, and reinsurance pool management.
Distribution is primarily through a mixed channel model: field sales teams, independent brokers, consultants, and an independent-contractor agent network sell policies to employers for employee coverage.
Key recent metrics (2023 10-K): revenue of $12.6 billion, net income of $1.0 billion, operating cash flow of $1.5 billion, and a combined loss-ratio of ≈ 92.5 %-indicating underwriting profitability above the industry median of ~94 % for life & health insurers. Return on equity was ~ 13 %, while the weighted-average duration of the investment portfolio sits near 5 years, making earnings sensitive to the current higher-interest-rate environment.
Sector drivers that materially affect Unum’s outlook include: (1) demographic aging and the growing demand for disability and long-term care coverage; (2) employer cost-containment pressures that favor voluntary, employee-paid benefits; and (3) the prevailing interest-rate climate, which boosts investment income but can increase the cost of liabilities for long-duration policies.
