Insurance (property/casualty)

Article Abstract:

Rising long-bond yields and low growth are making property and casualty insurance stocks less attractive in 1996. Continued industry consolidation and less demand for reinsurance has resulted in an increased focus on expenses, and companies with high expenses have become less competitive. These stocks have underperformed the market in 1996, and possible lower earnings, along with interest rate risk, make them average investments for 1999-2001.

Insurance (property/casualty)

Article Abstract:

Property and casualty stocks outperformed the market in 1995 although earnings were uneven. Wider workers' compensation margins, catastrophic event exposure in property and casualty lines, and cost disinflation in auto insurance are the major trends that will impact earnings. There will be more consolidation and restructuring in this industry and investors need to concentrate on stocks with good reserves and financial stability.
