PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 22/11. Up 17.5%.) Defensive because they have a decent dividend and a P&C insurer. Have been growing pretty well. Just made an acquisition that is going to increase their market share in specialty insurance. Still likes.

TOP PICK
Great trend. Did report a great earnings report recently. Blew away previous good report by 14%. It is in fact touching the trend line so it is a good time to buy.

TOP PICK
Property/casualty insurance. Marvellously run. Has just expanded by 40% by acquiring a Canadian subsidiary of a French company. Still motivated to buy up many more subsidiaries.

Likes this one, especially when you compare it to some of the other Canadian insurers. The beta is very low versus the TSX. 2.6% dividend yield with a growth rate over the next 3 years of about 9%.
