• Reinsurer Stocks: A Fear-Driven Market Creates Opportunity

  (Wed, 26 Nov 2008 06:29:28 -0500)

  John Appel submits:

  Catastrophes both natural and man-made have been hitting reinsurance companies, but the outlook is good. Shares of all the reinsurance companies were pummeled in October, with the combination of Hurricanes Ike and Gustav hitting underwriting profits while the capital markets carved a mark-to-market chunk out of investment portfolios.

  Things seemed to improve around Halloween and into November, as signs of ?hardening? premium rates began to emerge. But shares have recently retested their lows as the dysfunctional capital markets ? especially for mortgage- and asset-backed securities ? overshadow improving fundamentals for the...

• PIC: Market Rewards Insurers That Avoided Risk

  (Sun, 12 Oct 2008 09:58:56 -0400)

  Don Dion submits:

  Insurance companies have seen their share prices plummet along with those of their investment banking brethren. Fear, however, may have caused some investors to underestimate the value of some insurance companies’ balance sheets. While insurance giants have suffered the blow from subprime exposure, some analysts have begun to emphasize the value in the plain-vanilla investments at the heart of many insurance companies’ investments.

  With cleaner balance sheets and more transparent structures, many insurance companies have been surprisingly resilient in the face of financial crisis. This trend has been mirrored in our Sector Momentum Rankings and the...

  Don't look away, it's a financial.

  The insurance industry isn?t exactly viewed as a panacea for the investment woes inflicted on many of us over the past several months. While not as lowly as banking or retail, the insurance industry has certinaly seen its share of pain recently. The most notable problems are due to very soft pricing industry wide, and write downs of all sorts of products from Asset Backed bonds, CDS contracts, and other acronym-filled toxic waste that need no introductions in this format. Both of these problems are well captured by mighty AIG?s (AIG) most recent results and consequent $20B
