IAK: Sticking With Hot Insurance Stocks, Valuation Checks Out

I reiterate a buy rating on the iShares U.S. Insurance ETF due to strong momentum, solid valuation, and significant returns since early 2023. Key risks include moderating premium inflation, higher claims from natural disasters, increased commuting, and potential regulatory crackdowns on insurer profits. IAK offers diversified exposure to US insurance companies, with a compelling PEG ratio, low expense ratio, and strong seasonal performance in October-November.

IAK: Despite Mediocre Recent Performance, Fundamental Strengths Remain

IAK remains a buy due to strong earnings and profit margins of top holdings, favorable valuation, and potential market correction protection. Top holdings of Progressive, Chubb, and AIG show promising earnings, global industry growth, and attractive valuations compared to overvalued tech companies. Market valuation indicates potential correction, making IAK and peer funds like an "insurance" policy against market drop, with low correlation to broader market.
