Insurance shares?

$MUV2 (+0,33%) - $SREN (-0,17%) - $HNR1 (-0,86%) - $BRO (-1,38%)

I am currently in my final year of training as an insurance and financial investment specialist, but I work as an independent insurance broker.

In this respect, it is "natural" for me to deal intensively with listed insurance companies.

Today I bought shares in Munich Reinsurance Company (Munich Re) for the first time. $MUV2 (+0,33%) for the first time.

I also bought Swiss Re $SREN (-0,17%) and Hannover Re $HNR1 (-0,86%) on my watch list.

A functioning primary insurance market would be inconceivable without reinsurance.

I am also keeping an eye on the Allianz share $ALV (+0,89%) - I would see a price level below € 300 as an interesting entry opportunity.

Brown & Brown, $BRO (-1,38%) a company also active in the insurance business, is potentially attractive for me from a price below USD 88-90.

What are your opinions on insurance in your portfolio and/or in everyday life, apart from the typical weird sales representatives who only want to sell insurance etc.?

Insurers belong in every portfolio. I myself have been invested in $SREN & $ZURN for years and, in addition to considerable share price growth, have also benefited from very attractive dividends. With $BALN, $HELN & $SLHN, Switzerland offers further interesting stocks. But Germany also has nothing to hide with $ALV, $HNR1 & $MUV2.
Also interesting: $CS, $G, $BRO, $AJG, $CB, $601318 or $MMC.
As you can see, I can't stop raving about them 😆

@DividendenAlpaka Sounds outstanding.
I'm also massively enthusiastic about the insurance industry, especially when it comes to quality.

@wealth_navigator_64 Chart looks quite solid, that's true.
However, in my opinion you have to be careful here, as it will soon be merging with Baloise Sachversicherung Deutschland.

@KroateOhneHaare I think it still has to be approved by the Swiss authorities first, right? As far as I know, the merger is planned for Q4/2025.

@KonradM In my opinion, the figures for the companies see LMMD don't look that great. However, I would first have to deal with the companies in order to be able to make an objective comment here.

Hi, maybe take another look at $SLHN Swisslife, also a good chart and quite stable turnover in my opinion. It's on my watchlist, but I think one insured share is enough in the portfolio if you haven't diversified that much yet

@risk_taker_1816 Swiss Life is also a great company that has been performing outstandingly well for years.
However, I am considering taking either Swiss RE, i.e. Swiss Reinsurance, or Swiss Life, both of which are great stocks with attractive dividends.

@KroateOhneHaare Both are great, but since Municj Re is already in the portfolio, opinions differ as to whether you should really include another insurer or not. But the 3 big Swiss insurers Swiss Re, Swiss Life and Zurich insurance are great stocks and companies with great dividends. But unfortunately you can't have them all

@risk_taker_1816 Of course that's true.
You're absolutely right.
However, for me personally, I would always like to have 2-3 shares in an industry, not always, but here in the insurance industry I would very much like to.

@KroateOhneHaare then the combination of Munich re, Swiss re, and maybe Allianz or swisslife or Zurich insurance would be something for you, as you have two reinsurers and an everyday insurer

$MUV2 because Ergo still has a small foothold in the insurance business there.

If you are looking for cash flow, take a look at $AFG. There, purchases below <€120 are an option, and at higher prices they usually return a lot to shareholders in the form of special dividends.

@Dividenden_Monteur That's right, Ergo Versicherung AG is part of Munich Re, even as a small player despite the large ergo market. 👍
With AFG you have to watch the next price reactions of the resistances here, then the area around €90-95 could become very attractiveY

@Dividenden_Monteur Only here I see the problem with the dividends, which have been fluctuating back and forth for years and this significantly, especially in 2020/21.

I don't think you should have shares in the industry if you work in the industry yourself, except for employee shares
If the industry is doing badly, you'll be hit twice (your job may be at risk and the shares will do badly)

@GoldenShield A good point in itself!
However, the world doesn't work without insurance, especially not without reinsurance.
Reinsurers have again spent billions of euros on the forest fires, and losses were also made in Corona, but everything has recovered.
In addition, as insurance brokers, we take service fees from our customers, so we don't live on commissions, which means we don't care about market fluctuations in the insurance industry.

@GoldenShield But then you can't own German shares, for example, if you have a property in Germany. Because if things go badly for us as a country, not only will the DAX fall, but also the value of your home, and you might even be made redundant.

So in itself, the idea is not entirely wrong and is also understandable. But regional problems are just as likely as problems in an industry. However, the risk may be offset by the knowledge advantage.

Users like @Dividenden_Monteur, for example, know the industry inside out. So why shouldn't he also invest in industrial stocks?

@Soprano I understand your point, but what do you care about the value of your property if you live in it yourself? Besides, the German economy is so diversified. A large part of the turnover of DAX companies is not generated in Germany or how can you explain the DAX's constant new ATHs even though the economy here has been stagnating for 2-3 years

@Soprano I think Peter Lynch once described it in a similar way to you 👍.
Knowledge advantage through own experience and work. A specialist in oil production should not invest in pharmaceutical stocks, where he will probably never understand the business, and vice versa.
Of course, you can't finally spin it, otherwise some people wouldn't be able to invest anywhere 😅 but the idea is basically sound.

@GoldenShield because the German economy is hardly stagnating in real terms.
What is stagnating are our car manufacturers and all the rattles behind them, resulting in growth of just 0.4%, yet Germany accounts for ¼ of the GDP of the entire EU

SMEs are booming and mechanical engineering companies in particular have their books full to bursting...

@Dividenden_Monteur However, various economists would disagree with you on the last sentence, as full books are not an indicator of a booming industry. You can have as full a book as you like if you are in doubt about the materials, energy or skilled workers you need to process the orders.
Then you can end up going under even with the highest demand.

@7Trader The company's figures are quite solid. Growth of the share price around 2016-2017, but the dividend growth of the last 10 years is not the yellow of the egg, but to each his own. The figures are still solid in terms of sales, profit and free cash flow.

I'm wavering here between Swiss RE, i.e. Swiss Reinsurance, and Swiss Life as an insurer.
But both are great companies with top positions and attractive dividends.

Since I tend to bet on growth stocks and most of the insurance stocks listed above are likely to face headwinds if interest rates fall and have already performed very well, you can take a look at the following companies with a lot of potential. $LMND , $OSCR, $ROOT. Of course, it also depends on your investment strategy. But $LMND could soon end up in my portfolio, $OSCR I would have to buy in the US as it is not yet listed in Europe as far as I know. Exciting companies if you want to broaden your horizons a little, which could also revolutionize the insurance industry. ✌️

So many interesting options to 🦆 research based on the post and comments!
For now I have small positions with $CINF and $WRB and also have $ALV in my watchlist :D

I don’t work in the insurance industry but would have been the “natural” path since I did major in actuarial sciences haha but I do have friends in the field so not completely unfamiliar to it.

@Novius However, a sideways phase has been underway here since 06/22, so either the next breakout will be to the downside or to the upside, provided the all-time high at that time is not breached.
