Significant increase in operating profit at Helvetia

Helvetia Holding AG reported a 26.5% increase in its overall Group Life income for 2024, reaching CHF 61.9 million. This improvement was primarily due to better investment returns, a trend that began in 2024 after a challenging 2023. Furthermore, the transition to semi-autonomous solutions increased the number of insured persons by 3.6%.

The year 2024 saw increased participation in surpluses, with a payout rate of 90.6% despite a slight decline in the surplus fund. Helvetia is now the second-largest player in the Swiss group life insurance market, thanks in particular to the 5.5% increase in risk and expense premiums.
