Strong financial position

Folksam’s companies have a high level of solvency and are financially strong, even after the recent turbulence in the financial markets. For our customers, it is now clear that there is security and stability in traditional insurance.”

The bonus interest is remeasured on a running basis, taking into account the influence of the financial market on the collective consolidation ratio.
