"Strong fourth quarter results concluded an outstanding year for The Hartford,” said The Hartford's Chairman and CEO Christopher Swift. “For the full year, expanding profit margins in P&C, Group Benefits and Mutual Funds drove a 16% increase in core earnings per diluted share and a one point improvement in core earnings ROE to 8.4%. We also sold the Japan annuity business during the year, significantly reducing the company’s risk profile and contributing to the return of over $2 billion of capital to shareholders. As we enter 2015, I am pleased with how the company’s businesses are balancing profitability and top-line growth in this pricing and interest rate environment.”
History
The company was founded In 1810 when a
