Insurance (diversified)

Article Abstract:

The year 1996 was a record year for the diversified insurance industry, with stocks reaching new highs during the third quarter. Solid operating earnings and a strong bond market contributed to this segment's performance. Those insurance firms heavy with real estate holdings continue to do well. Investors can expect to see more consolidation on a domestic and an international scale. Three timely stocks are American International Group, MGIC Investment Corp and and CIGNA Corp.

Insurance (diversified)

Article Abstract:

The diversified insurance industry continues to look good as a whole, even though there may be some modest earnings disappointments for individual companies in this sector. The pace of mergers and industry consolidation is not expected to slow, but those companies with good internal growth are the best prospects for the future. Stocks with the least exposure to the US domestic market are expected to perform the best.

Insurance (diversified)

Article Abstract:

Stocks for the diversified insurance industry did well during 1996 because of a strong bond market and remedies for asbestos and environmental exposures. Risks during 1997 are expected to keep the insurance industry's operating earnings from increasing more than in the single digits. Consolidation and restructuring is taking place throughout the industry during 1997.
