0. Why Farmers Insurance for Your Business?
Discussion with Nancy O’Neale February 5, 2016

1. Farmers Financial Stability
Farmers opened for business in 1928, just before the Great Depression. During that turbulent period, we paid claims in cash while others issued IOUs. Through the years, we kept a simple approach that centers on disciplined investment strategies, caring for the community and providing excellent service to our customers.

2. Farmers Financial Strength
Our financial strength makes us a standout in the industry:
Farmers Group, Inc., is a subsidiary of Zurich Financial Services, the world’s second-largest Commercial Property and Casualty insurer
All three of the major credit reporting agencies — AM Best, Moody’s, and Standard and Poor’s — give Farmers an “A” rating and a “Positive” or “Stable” outlook
Farmers manages small-business premium of over $2.2 billion and more than 600,000 policies
Acquisitions of companies like Foremost, Bristol West, Zurich Small Business, and 21st Century Insurance, further illustrate that strength

3. Farmers Brand Recognition
With over 80 years as a trusted brand, Farmers is the third-largest insurer of homes and vehicles in our operating territories, and the second-largest Commercial multi-peril writer. It’s a strong position to be in, and has allowed us to be the fastest-growing multi-line carrier in the United States.

4. Farmers Community Involvement
We have a longstanding tradition of community outreach and support. From scholarship programs to educational resources to supporting the arts, Farmers’ community involvement is as diverse as its customers and agents. Farmers partners with, and is a major supporter of, organizations such as the March of Dimes and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Farmers agents play a major role in these efforts — giving back to the communities where they live and serve.
