Frequently asked questions
Who controls Protecta Security?
Chilean financial conglomerate Grupo Security owns 67% of Protecta Security through its subsidiary Inversiones Security Perú. The remaining 33% is held by Peruvian financial group Grupo ACP, a founding shareholder. CEO Mario Ventura Verme runs day-to-day operations from Lima.
What insurance lines does Protecta Security underwrite?
Protecta's known lines include personal accident insurance, life insurance, and student accident coverage. The firm serves as the recommended accident insurance provider for Colegio Roosevelt, the American School of Lima, indicating an institutional distribution channel through educational organizations.
Does Protecta Security hold real estate directly?
Yes. Protecta owns its corporate headquarters on Avenida Domingo Orue in Surquillo, Lima, and the Qhatu Plaza strip mall in Santa Clara, Ate. This direct real estate exposure distinguishes it from many local insurers that operate exclusively as financial underwriters.
What is Protecta Security's geographic footprint?
Protecta's underwriting and investment operations are concentrated entirely in Peru. The Grupo Security parentage provides a cross-border Chilean ownership link, but the insurance licenses, client base, and real estate portfolio are domestic.
Is Grupo Security a family office or a public company?
Grupo Security is a publicly traded Chilean financial conglomerate with banking, insurance, wealth management, and asset management divisions. It is not a single-family office, though its controlling shareholders include Chilean families with multi-generational holding structures. Protecta operates as a regulated Peruvian insurer within that group.
