Strengths
  • Market leader in Austria and several Central and Eastern European (CEE) markets.
  • A well-diversified insurance portfolio, enhanced by strong distribution capabilities and an exclusive bancassurance contract with Erste Group Bank AG.

  • Solid reinsurance protection that limits the group's natural catastrophe losses.
Risks

  • Relatively high capital sensitivity to market movements, particularly interest rates.
