Factory Mutual Insurance Company
Factory Mutual Insurance Company traces its pension plan to 1835. Malcolm Roberts serves as President and CEO after his 2022 appointment, succeeding Thomas A. Lawson. Sanjay Chawla acts as Chief Investment Officer with responsibility for the general account and pension assets. The plan allocates 5.01 percent to private equity and maintains exposure to venture capital, buyouts, secondaries and distressed debt. Public equity holdings feature NVIDIA at 5.34 percent stake valued at $548 million and Microsoft at 5.3 percent stake valued at $545 million as of Q3 2025. Real-asset holdings include 4.8 million square feet of commercial and industrial properties plus infrastructure investments. Geographic reach covers the United States, United Kingdom and additional markets in Europe and Asia. The plan reports 3,195 million dollars in assets. It operates the FM Global Foundation, which directs corporate giving with a 2:1 match for educational institutions. In September 2024 the firm spoke at the GVNW Annual Symposium in Munich on commercial property insurance and risk management. In February 2026 it sponsored the Legislative Summit of The Council in Washington, D.C. The pension plan sits inside an operating insurance company rather than a standalone family or institutional vehicle. This structure ties investment decisions to the parent’s property-risk underwriting cycle and balance-sheet requirements.
