Hartford Financial Services Group Inc at Credit Suisse Virtual Financial Services Forum (Virtual) Transcript

Great. Good morning, everybody, and good afternoon for those in Europe. My name is Mike Zaremski, and it's my pleasure to introduce Chris Swift, Chairman and CEO of The Hartford; and Beth Costello, Chief Financial Officer.
The format of today's presentation will be of a virtual fireside chat. I'll start off by quickly saying that it's been a roll in the past year for most everybody, to say the least. I've been making the case to investors that despite COVID-19 headwinds in parts of the business, the P&C industry fundamentals are sound, and there's actually underlying positive momentum in many areas. I was looking at The Hartford's 2022, for example, consensus earnings forecast, for example, and they've indeed increased 13% off the kind of June, July 2020 lows when COVID uncertainty was at its peak.
So with that, why don't I pass it off to Chris to make some opening remarks as well, and then we'll get into the Q&A.
