Jewelers Mutual recognized as top insurance co.
Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co. has been named to the 2015 list of Ward’s 50 top-performing insurance companies for the fifth year in a row.
Neenah, Wis.--Jewelers Mutual Insurance Co. has been named to the 2015 list of Ward’s 50 top-performing insurance companies for the fifth year in a row.
The award recognizes outstanding financial results in the areas of safety, consistency, and performance for the five-year period, from 2010-2014.
Ward Group released its Ward’s 50 list of top-performing insurance companies last week. To put together the list, the company analyzed the financial performance of nearly 3,000 property-casualty insurance companies and 800 life-health insurance companies based in the U.S. to find the top performers in each category based on data and quality measures.
This is the 25th consecutive year that Ward Group has done the analysis to produce the list.
“Ward’s 50 is an incredible industry benchmark, and it’s a tremendous achievement for Jewelers Mutual to be named to this highly competitive list for five consecutive years,” Jewelers Mutual President and CEO Scott Murphy said. “As our company continues to grow and expand, we look forward to building on this success.”
