Allianz SE is a leading global insurer and asset manager founded in 1890 in Berlin, Germany, and now headquartered in Munich. Over more than a century of operations, the company has expanded from its origins as a small fire and accident insurer into a diversified financial services group offering a broad range of insurance and investment products. Allianz has established a reputation for financial strength, operational excellence, and a commitment to long-term customer relationships.
The company’s core business activities are organized into three main segments: Property & Casualty insurance, Life & Health insurance, and Asset Management. Through its Property & Casualty arm, Allianz provides coverage against risks such as motor, property, liability, and specialty lines. Its Life & Health division offers protection products ranging from term and whole life insurance to employee benefits and health plans. In asset management, Allianz oversees client portfolios via its in-house brands, including Allianz Global Investors and PIMCO, serving institutional investors, financial intermediaries, and retail clients with fixed income, equity, multi-asset, and alternative strategies.
With operations in more than 70 countries, Allianz serves retail and corporate customers around the world. In Europe, it is one of the largest non-life insurers, while in North America and Asia-Pacific it continues to expand through strategic partnerships and digital initiatives. The company also invests heavily in technology and innovation to enhance digital distribution, streamline claims processing, and develop data-driven risk assessment tools.
Allianz is led by CEO Oliver Bäte, who has overseen the firm’s strategic transformation since his appointment in 2015. Under his guidance, the company has prioritized sustainable business practices, integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles across its operations. Supported by an Executive Board and a Supervisory Board, Allianz remains focused on balancing disciplined risk management with growth opportunities in emerging markets and new product lines.
