Q: Hi, Could you please provide your opinion on Progressive Corp. P&C Insurance sector seems to be doing well and stock is making new highs ( Noted that IFC is your favourite in Canada). How is the valuation compared to its competitors? Company released its premiums business for the month of January, yesterday, which sounded encouraging, sending stock to another high. Do you think that current level is good to start a position ? Thanks

Q: What is your opinion on Arch Capital and their future prospects. Thanks for you advice.

Q: Hello 5i Team

I am reviewing US listed Property and Casualty Insurance companies for the US dollar portion of my RRSP account (in order to receive dividends without US withholding tax).

I understand Brookfield Reinsurance Ltd (BNRE) is a Bermuda based corporation and is not subject to withholding taxes in an RRSP.

Questions:

1 – Is BNRE a suitable candidate?

2 – Please list other US listed P&C insurance companies for consideration in order of preference.

Thank you
