Sampo plc

Helsinki Finland

 

Company Description

Unlike the magic pillar of Finnish lore for which it's named, Sampo can't pull treasure out of thin air. But it does what it can to help its clients. The holding company offers a variety of financial products, primarily in Finland, but also in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark and throughout the Baltic region, including Russia. It provides property/casualty coverage through subsidiary If P&C, which is one of the largest Nordic property/casualty insurers and the company's largest money maker. Sampo's Mandatum Life (formerly Sampo Life) subsidiary provides life insurance, pension, and other long-term products in Nordic countries and the Baltics. The company also owns about 12% of Nordea, the region's largest bank.
