Q: Hello, on August 15th you answered a question by Derek about this company. Feel free to abridge this quote within your response, pasted below. I don't fully understand your response, as it seems to indicate that TSU will grow faster, but why would you say that IFC is more balanced? Does this mean that IFC should actually grow more over time, or that it will grow less but is more stable? Thank you very much.
Original answer about growth:
IFC (property and casualty insurance and auto insurance) - consensus growth estimate over the next few years 6%
TSU (specialty insurance) - consensus growth estimate over the next few years 10%-12%
TSU has the best growth, as the company reinvested the majority of its earnings back, and volume growth in TSU’s recent quarters is quite healthy. TSU has the strongest growth, but we think IFC could be the most balanced name between capital returns and growth.
