KIE: Specialty Insurance Skew With Lower Multiple

State Street SPDR S&P Insurance ETF now trades at a lower P/E multiple (11x) versus IAK, making it relatively more attractive. KIE's small- and mid-cap focus offers greater growth potential but comes with lower dividend yields and profitability compared to larger peers. Specialty insurance exposure in KIE introduces idiosyncratic risk profiles, differentiating it from IAK's heavier P&C weighting.

2025 U.S. P&C Insurance Market Report Projects Stability Amid Broader Volatility

After the industry's combined ratio improved by 5.1 percentage points in 2024 to an 11-year low of 96.5% due in large part to a spectacular fourth quarter for the personal lines, our outlook for 2025 and 2026 contemplates narrower profit margins. A decidedly more favorable operating environment in the private auto business, which accounted for 33.6% of US P&C industry direct premiums written in 2024, will have negative implications for top-line growth in 2025 and 2026 in particular, as some carriers have begun to lower rates.

KIE: Same Multiple On Larger Cap ETFs

KIE offers equal-weighted exposure to mid- and small-cap US insurance stocks, unlike IAK's large-cap, value-weighted focus. Despite lower expense ratios, KIE's mid-cap tilt doesn't provide a valuation advantage or superior performance over IAK, which benefits from scale. We prefer IAK for its greater property and casualty exposure and larger, more resilient insurance businesses with better access to capital.
