History

[edit]

Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance was established as Dongbang Marine Insurance in 1955. Hyundai Group acquired Dongbang in 1983 and changed its name to Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance in 1985.[2] However, due to Hyundai's break up caused by a feud between the group founder Chung Ju-yung's sons, Hyundai Insurance was split from the original Group in 1999. Chung Mong-yoon, the founder's seventh son, took control of the company.[3][4]

Operations

[edit]

Hyundai Insurance is one of the four domestic insurers that dominates the South Korean non-insurance market.[5] In the global market, Hyundai acquired a 25% interest in Vietinbank Insurance in 2018.[6] The company also formed a joint venture with DiDi Chuxing and Legend Holdings for China market in 2020.[7]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
