Fortis earns the "Muscles from Brussels" moniker for its insurance and banking machismo, not for any bad action flicks. The company's operations are focused in banking, insurance, and investment management. The Benelux countries are Fortis' home base and its strength, but the company has operations in other areas, and has aspirations to broaden its brawn further in Europe. Fortis' banking operations include network (retail), commercial, and merchant banking; its insurance products include life, health, and property/casualty lines. The company's stock trades through a "twinned share" system -- Fortis SA/NV on the Brussels exchange and Fortis N.V. on the Amsterdam exchange.
