Frequently asked questions
Who controls Protecta and where does the capital come from?
Grupo Security, the Chilean financial group, holds a 67% majority stake in Protecta Security. The remaining ownership is not publicly detailed. Mario Ventura serves as CEO of the firm, which operates as a regulated Peruvian insurer backed by cross-border Andean capital rather than a single-family pool.
What does Protecta own outside of its insurance book?
Protecta directly owns the Qhatu Plaza Strip Mall in the Santa Clara area of Ate, Lima, and its corporate headquarters in Surquillo. The firm also carries a portfolio of life settlements and annuities, making its balance sheet considerably more real-asset-oriented than a conventional premium-focused insurer.
Is Protecta related to the Protecta Insurance that operated in New Zealand?
The New Zealand entity, Protecta Insurance, was founded by Stephen Glading and later acquired by Assurant. That operation is distinct from Protecta Security in Peru, which sits under Grupo Security's ownership and is run by Mario Ventura.
How does Protecta invest its insurance float?
Protecta channels policyholder premiums into directly held commercial real estate — notably retail and office properties in Lima — and maintains a life settlements portfolio. This liability-driven investment approach keeps assets in-house rather than allocating to third-party fund managers.
Does Protecta have any philanthropic or foundation structures?
Philanthropic activities flow through Grupo ACP, a foundation related to the broader Grupo Security ecosystem, and are kept separate from Protecta's regulated insurance entity.
