WEAK BUY

Generally likes insurers. Benefits from a rise in interest rates. Scores okay on price momentum. Not too expensive at 16x. Small yield, good balance sheet. Not a stand out, prefers Manulife.

insurance

TOP PICK

Their P&C insurance business has strengthened with good volumes. Their combined ratio has fallen (good); underwriting is covering costs, so their investments are all gravy. Their investment business faces a positive: rising interest rates. It trades at 1.3x book which is decent. They specialize in private/commercial property & casualty insurance. (Analysts’ price target is $197.21)

insurance

BUY

They're experts in spreading risk, ensuring they have enough capital to cover payouts on losses. Their combined ratio under 100 means they're profitable in their underwriting (pre-investments) though Chubb is profitable in investments, too. CB is in a good position. We're in a new cycle that allows price increases in the property casualty insurance business. He's happy to own this.

insurance

TOP PICK

Two-thirds of their business is in North America. They have pricing power now (at times in a cycle insurers don't). CB's combined ratio is very strong. It trades at 1.3x book, reasonable for an insurer, and at 15x earnings. He's done well holding this for a while. (Analysts’ price target is $180.59)

insurance

BUY

Chub was going to acquire Heartford. The merger has been rebuffed. CB-N has come back a lot this year because of rising inflation. They invest premiums that customers pay. They are a nice way to play the 10 and 30 year rates spiking.

insurance

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 07/20, Up 4%) Insurance companies have increased prices to cover catastrophic losses. An example of inflation. Book value's been growing. Combined ratio is back to 89-90% range. Still a buy.

insurance

BUY

Premiums have been invested in fixed income, so profitability has gone down. Relative to the equity markets, fixed income is less volatile, and so their float is safer than some of its peers. For business interruptions and any big payouts, premiums will increase going forward. Long-term, with eventually higher interest rates, profitability will increase. A good company.

insurance

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 02/19, Down 16%) Insurance is facing catastrophe because of COVID, though governments will not let the insurers go bankrupt. Insurers will probably cope by raising prices. Chubb has the highest credit rating and its combined ratio is 100%, despite the economic downturn. Chubb's book value continues to grow, though the stock is down 19% YTD. He'd buy on weakness. The 2.5% dividend pays you to wait.

insurance

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 26/19, Down 6%) Continues to like it. Has pricing power, which tends to be cyclical. Combined ratio of less than 100%, which is good. Growing well, about 10% off 2019 levels. Stable.

insurance

BUY on WEAKNESS

It is trading below book value right now. It is one of the best underwriters in the world. They have a good franchise. They have enough capital to grow organically and through acquisition. It may be more volatile over the next little while. Not a bad time to buy it for the long term.

insurance

BUY

P&C is a great space. KIE is a US insurance ETF and is hitting new highs, consolidating since June. Chubb is strong in P&C. Allstate is also good. He owns both.

insurance

TOP PICK

Earnings were a blow out announced yesterday. Since there were little catastrophes last year, profits boomed. The book value is rising. It's the best insurance company based on combined ratio, how much you're paying in claims versus premiums, which is at 98%. (Analysts’ price target is $165.17)

insurance

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 12/18, Up 25%) They've been able to raise prices in the last year. They are a high quality re-insurer. The opioid crisis is the only concern. It's still a buy and he continues to buy it.

insurance

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 12/18, Up 21%) Property casualty. Combined ratio dropped to 89%. Among the best and has a single A credit rating.

insurance

TOP PICK

They only own government bonds in cash in their investment portfolio that will make money if interest rates go down. Ability to grow earnings over the next while. Will benefit from falling interest rates. Yield 1.97%
