Insurance stocks are shares of publicly traded insurance companies that underwrite risk by selling policies (life, health, property/casualty, etc.), collecting premiums and investing the resulting “float.” Their performance depends on the balance between underwriting profits (premiums minus claims and expenses) and investment income, and is sensitive to factors such as catastrophe losses, regulatory changes and interest‐rate movements. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Insurance stocks within the last several days.
