\"Investment\"<\/p>\n

First and foremost we are hoping that all affected by the winter storm this week are safe and warm or will be soon.\u00a0 We are also following the last of big earnings reports and other investment moves.\u00a0 Here are the three things we learned this week:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A big winter storm made its way across the US bringing unusually miserable cold, snow and ice to a large part of the country.\u00a0 This looks like a\u00a0major cat loss event for insurers<\/a>, especially mega personal lines carriers.\u00a0 We saw estimates late Friday that totals could be in the neighborhood of $18 billion with the bulk in Texas.\u00a0 This could rank up in the top-10 of events causing insured damage losses.<\/li>\n
  2. One of the last big\u00a0earnings reports of the season comes from AIG<\/a>\u00a0and includes several interesting updates: they are still exploring an IPO or minority interest sale of the life operation, the CEO transition will be complete soon, like their peers they are enjoying the profit from commercial lines rate hikes.\u00a0 As earnings season comes to a close it appears that most carriers are healthy because of rate increases but uncertainty remains from COVID, the economy and other catastrophe events.<\/li>\n
  3. There were a few small but notable acquisition\/investment headlines:\u00a0Progressive’s acquisition of commercial auto specialist Protective<\/a>\u00a0not the most exciting move but will give them further scale and diversification in the transportation space.\u00a0 Berkshire disclosed a\u00a0$499M stake in Marsh<\/a>\u00a0again not the biggest investment but usually when Berkshire makes these moves they are methodical and calculated and they expect strong long term returns.\u00a0 And finally\u00a0AmTrust’s CEO is launching a SPAC<\/a>\u00a0hoping to raise $300M through IPO on NASDAQ to target insurtech investments.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Thank you for continuing to follow us and for those of you who have provided feedback.\u00a0 We are working on content to come in the next few weeks that will provide insights on two big trends: business transformation and downstream data integration.\u00a0 So stay tuned and safe productive!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
