IAK: Trumpflation Keeps Reserve Portfolio Returns Higher
The iShares U.S. Insurance ETF benefits from Trumpflation and banking deregulation, boosting short-term fixed-income returns on reserve portfolios. IAK's 18x PE ratio is reasonable compared to the broader U.S. market's 30x. IAK's multiple is driven primarily by a high-growth pick to which it is heavily indexed. On the increment, insurance looks to be a good area to stay invested within given the macro setup. But if rates fall more, the multiple may not be sustainable.

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.
