Insurance Sector Actionable Intelligence Note, Made Public

I recieved an email from a reporter yesterday inquiring into insurers, which prompted me to release the timely subscription content regarding the Hartford Insurance Group to the public. I grabbed a substantial position in early October, and released a timely actionable intelligence note on October seventeenth, followed up by a significant amount of research. Kudos and big ups go out to my team for doing a phenomonal job crystallizing my strategy. HIG has joined, or is close to joining the increasingly growing 200%+ return on cash investment club.

I picked up on the Hartford after investigating other life insurers, specifically Metropolitan, and found HIG to be the worst of the pack.


Hartford's yields have spiked into junk territory (pretty much where they belong)


Hartford's CDS spreads have blown by a multiple of 4x to 8x


The Hartford Insurance Group is insolvent, as liabilities currently are the equivalent or more than its tangible assets, and thier core investment sector (the financial services industry) adds to those losses literally on a daily basis


This is a graphical depiction of Hartfords own reporting of net outflows - A literal "Run on the Bank" (well, actually insurer).


Previously booked future gains are unraveling rapidly

The general public now has access to the research since the Hartford has pretty much run its course for blog subscribers.

Here is a spreadsheet formally for professional subscribers detailing the exposuse of the top 200 Hartford debt holders that I was able to dig up on short notice - more work definitely needs to be done, along with a target on the top 10. Notice that the top 10 have significant exposure.

1 VANGUARD GROUP INC 261,125
