iShares US insurance etf IAKTOP PICKAug 31, 2018Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Jun 12, 2026. Market Open.
Theme for today is predictability. This ETF holds all the big names, safer than trying to pick just 1 name. Chart's a bit choppy, wants to see it break out, but it has held its lows. Insurance is reasonably predictable, though does get shocked from rising costs or natural disasters. But, really, the whole sector's pretty stable. Adopting AI should improve the claims process.
After suffering lower yields, they’re starting to break out again. Optimal time to hold is between September 23 and January 3. Volatility with hurricane season ahead, but the forecast risk is lower, so lower payouts for claims.
