The Hartford Financial Services Group is a large American insurance company. It sells property and casualty insurance, which protects homes, cars, and businesses from damage or accidents. It also sells group benefits insurance — things like disability and life insurance — mostly to employers who offer these plans to their workers.

The Hartford makes money by collecting premiums from customers and investing that money until claims need to be paid. It operates mainly in the United States and generates roughly $24 billion in annual revenue, making it one of the larger commercial insurance providers in the country. The company has a long history dating back to 1810 and holds strong relationships with small and mid-sized businesses, which gives it a stable customer base. The key risk it faces is that rising costs from natural disasters and inflation can push claims higher than expected, squeezing profits even when premium revenue looks healthy.
