“Gard has delivered a robust half-year result for 2025, supported by strong investment returns and continued financial resilience. While the insurance result reflects an increase in large claims for the period, our overall performance remains solid, and our capital position is strong”, says Gard CEO, Rolf Thore Roppestad.
On 1 March 2025, Gard formally completed the acquisition of Codan’s Marine and Energy portfolio. The integration has progressed well and in line with expectations. Roppestad emphasises that the Codan portfolio provides Gard with a broader platform, both in terms of product offering and geographic presence. It also strengthens the company’s position in the renewable energy segment.
Gard’s financial strength remains very solid. The strong investment performance has further reinforced the capital base, and Gard remains well within the financial targets.
“Our strategic direction remains clear, and we are focused on delivering long-term value to our Members and clients. We will continue to stay close to our Members in turbulent times and continue to invest in our people, systems, and services to ensure we remain a trusted partner in risk management”, says Roppestad.
