Farmers Group, Inc.

Type: Subsidiary
On the web: http://www.farmers.com

Don't expect to see tractors in the parking lot of Farmers Group. The US subsidiary of Zurich Financial Services provides insurance management services to the members of the Farmers Insurance Exchange, Truck Insurance Exchange, and Fire Insurance Exchange -- which together form one of the leading US property/casualty insurers. Farmers Group does not own the exchanges, but acts as the companies' attorneys-in-fact. It chooses risks, distributes policy statements to customers, collects premiums, and provides other non-claims related services. The Farmers Group also is the holding company of Farmers New World Life Insurance, and specialty insurer Foremost Insurance.
