Company Report

Allianz Is Probably the Best-Executing European Multiline Insurer

Allianz is one of the best-performing multiline insurers in our European insurance coverage. The company combines a unique set of assets to generate returns that are better than most of its peers. In its property and casualty division, the company has continued to invest in technology and data to improve customer experience, as well as its policy and claims processing. By increasing the speed of its first notice of loss, the company gets ahead of inflation and can manage repairs and claims more effectively. While the division has not earned economic returns, from an underwriting perspective, it is one of the better-performing divisions.

Company Profile

Allianz was founded as a transport and accident insurance firm in 1890 by Carl von Thieme and Wilhelm von Finck, the founders of Munich Re. It took the company five years to expand into Europe and North America and subsequently list in Berlin. After World War I, individuals were confronted with the loss of wealth, life, and security, and Allianz founded a life business in the 1920s. In the years after World War II, Allianz’s foreign assets were seized, and it lost its foreign business. By relocating its head office from Berlin to Munich in 1948, Allianz began the long road of rebuilding its domestic insurance business. It took 20 years for the company to reacquire its prior foreign interests, starting in Austria. It became the largest European insurer in the postwar boom era.
