Rising Interest Rates Should Help Great-West’s Insurance Business, Empower a Growth Focus
Business Strategy and Outlook
Great-West, along with competitors Sun Life and Manulife, make up the “Big Three” in the Canadian life insurance market. Of the three, we believe Great-West is the best run as it has posted the highest returns on equity. The life insurance market is competitive and relatively commodified, so we generally don’t expect such strong returns. We attribute Great-West’s results to disciplined underwriting strategy and expense management.
