Investment Thesis

Insurance is the stealth rate trade: premiums invested at 5% yields instead of 1% transform underwriting economics, and hard pricing markets have let insurers raise rates for years running. Steady compounders with a 2.6% yield, still priced like a boring sector.

Who It's For

Value investors wanting financial-sector exposure with less balance-sheet risk than banks and a direct benefit from higher yields.
