As the mortgage markets dried up following the financial and
housing crisis, brokers around the insurance sector have been
forced to find new ways to drive revenue. Many shifted their focus
towards selling protection products after a strategic hiatus made
it more worth their time to focus on mortgage policies. Sales
targets for non-mortgage products are rising now that they are
again being viewed as an important revenue stream. This could
potentially benefit the Accident and Health Insurance sector.

Meanwhile, the sector is suffering some significant catastrophe
losses stemming from harsh weather in the Southeast and Midwestern
United States. For the second quarter, Assurant Inc. is expecting
between $65 and $75 million in pre-tax catastrophe losses due to
hail, tornadoes, wind, and flooding in that region. This is a far
cry from the previous year when $5 million in post-tax catastrophe
losses impacted earnings four cents a share. Assurant Inc. research report is available for free by

On a macro scale, the health insurance markets have remained
incredibly competitive. New health care reforms that restrict the
percentage of premiums that can be taken as profit are also likely
to make the current environment more difficult. The week employment
landscape has also inhibited premium growth as fewer employees are
receiving benefits through their work. Visit www.stockcall.com/ to
see how companies in this industry have grown over the past years
and how they are expected to perform in the future.
While balances have been good for Accident insurers, this has
applied a downward pressure on pricing. Inflation has also been a
concern and could make life harder for companies like CNO Financial
Group. CNO Financial Group Inc. research
