Jewelers Mutual annual report

A message from Scott Murphy 

President and Chief Executive Officer, Jewelers Mutual Group 

Scott Murphy

2022 has been a year of transition. We came back together at our office locations, welcomed new team members across the country, strengthened the products and services we put our name behind, and reimagined how Jewelers Mutual serves the jewelry industry. 

This past year, Jewelers Mutual has proven to be the consistent, dependable company that its over one million customers throughout the U.S. and Canada have come to depend on. Despite the unique challenges we all have faced in the global economy, we continued to drive strong results and carry that positive momentum into 2023, the year of our 110th anniversary. 

Jewelers Mutual has redefined what an insurance company can be and continues to do so. We are more focused than ever on supporting each other with the same level of commitment we have in supporting our customers. It is what keeps us all moving forward. We remain dedicated to innovation and new investments in technology solutions, to be better, faster, and smarter for our customers and the entire industry we serve. With the momentum we have built, it is sure to be an exciting year ahead. 

Below highlights a small portion of the many accomplishments I am proud of from the year. I welcome you to also review our financial statement which illustrates the year’s success – the result of tremendous dedication to our employees, customers, and jewelry industry. 

After 110 years, we are just getting started and look forward to continuing to lay the foundation for what the next 110 years will bring.
