Stock Watch: life insurance





Many of us have bought life insurance, but what about buying shares in life insurance companies?


The industry is a black hole to investors who struggle to see how such companies create value and make money.


Because the insurance industry feels current - and complex - accounting rules do not accurately portray long-term performance (policies can last 50 years), so companies publish customised performance indicators to help their evaluation.
