The SIGNAL IDUNA Group is one of Germany's largest all-round financial groups, and has aspirations to expand into the rest of Europe. Its ultimate parent companies are mutual companies. Consequently, the group is autonomous, independent, and not bound to obey any shareholder interests.

The SIGNAL IDUNA Group has its origins among small and medium enterprises. It grew up out of early self-help institutions established by groups in the crafts, trades and commerce. Over the decades it has evolved beyond its exclusive orientation to professional organizations, and has become an all-round insurer for everyone, with speciality insurers for the civil service and a particular capability in miscellaneous financial services. The group also feels bound to preserve its traditional strong ties with crafts, trades and small and medium enterprises. Its core business is insurance and financial services.

The SIGNAL IDUNA Group offers all forms of coverage and financial products from a single source, combined in a single corporation. It holds an outstanding position among the ten largest German insurance groups, and is very strong in both its capitalization and its financial resources. The group operates through an exclusive organization of independent agents, and has strong confidence in this customer-oriented distribution channel.
