Profile
Baloise Group is a Swiss‑based insurance provider that offers a range of life and non‑life insurance products, including health, accident, property, liability and motor coverage, as well as pension and investment solutions. The group also provides asset management services and banking products through its subsidiaries, catering to both private individuals and corporate clients. Its operations are centred in Switzerland but extend to neighbouring markets such as Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg, where it operates under local brand names. The company’s core activity is to underwrite risk and deliver financial protection, supported by a network of agents, brokers and direct channels. In April 2022 the group experienced a cyberattack that targeted parts of its IT infrastructure, leading to temporary isolation of affected systems and limited service disruptions.
Baloise Holding AG, the ultimate parent of the group, is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and follows Swiss corporate governance standards, placing it under the supervision of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The group distinguishes itself by integrating traditional insurance with financial services, aiming to offer comprehensive risk‑management and wealth‑building solutions under a single brand. It places a strong emphasis on sustainability, incorporating environmental, social and governance criteria into its underwriting and investment processes. Structurally, the organisation comprises several legally independent subsidiaries that operate in specific countries or business lines, while strategic direction and group‑wide functions are managed from the headquarters in Basel. This setup allows Baloise to maintain local market relevance while benefiting from group‑scale expertise and capital strength.
