Four insurers earn CHF 116bn between them, and all four are in the Swiss Lions 100. Zurich Insurance is the largest, with 54% of the total, and the most visible. The ranking has only four brands because few Swiss insurers have a global footprint. Others, such as Die Mobiliar and Vaudoise, operate mainly in Switzerland, and large insurers active in the Swiss market, such as AXA and Allianz, are run from abroad.
