The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates again, benefiting insurance companies that invest premiums in bonds. Four insurers—Chubb, Travelers, Progressive, and MetLife—are already seeing higher investment income from reinvesting at better yields. Historically, these companies perform well during rate hike cycles as their bond portfolios generate more income over time. Despite some risks like bond mark losses and pricing pressure, these insurers trade at reasonable valuations and are positioned to gain if rates continue rising.
