The Hartford Insurance Group said today that first-quarter net income rose 20 percent compared to the period last year.

The Hartford-based multiline insurer reported net income of $876 million, or $2.71 per share, compared with $728 million, or $2.34 per share, in the same year-ago period.

Chairman Ramani Ayer said a 17 percent return on equity came as a result of "navigating in a diverse set of markets and competitive environments."
