Protector Forsikring is a non-life insurance company with two main segments: Public and Corporate (incl. Affinity). Protector's market strategy is to offer standardized insurance products only through insurance brokers. The offering mainly includes property and casualty insurance and personal insurance. All of Protector's value chains are internally developed and all of their core insurance systems are developed internally.

Well, those are some pretty impressive return percentages in that portfolio  I bought in for the first time in 2015 and sold in 2018 just before the crash—mostly by sheer luck in terms of timing—and got back in during the spring of 2020.

Thanks for the great summary! I might add more Protector to my position; it’s been in my portfolio since 2016 and things are looking good

The essential part is under the interim report: the underwriting result and growth are rocking - investment returns are stalling.   In investment returns, equities -7.2% and bonds +0.1%  In bonds, rising interest rates lowered paper values, but the yield rose slightly (5.1% => 5.3%) while the risk level was reduced (high yield bonds down by 15.5%) Solvency requirements decreased due to the reduction in the investment risk level, so Prote paid an exceptionally large quarterly dividend of 8 NOK despite the strong growth. Renewal rate 93%  Growth is stalling in the UK  Growth was only 5% in the key insurance policies starting on April 1st, due to lower quoting activity and a lower hit rate. However, the renewal rate was over 100% in public entities and real estate. UK profitability is diamond-grade - CR a measly 77%  Half of the 21% growth came from France, where growth was 172%  Surprisingly, 19% growth in Norway as well  France already reached a clearly positive result (CR 91.7%)  even though it has only been in the market for 1.5 years!!! Of course, it’s still very early days and as I’ve mentioned before, they took a hit in Denmark after the first good years when pricing had been too aggressive. A lower reinsurance rate was reflected in 1.8 percentage points lower reinsurance costs. This should manifest as higher volatility in the loss ratio, but this quarter large claims were exceptionally low (1.7% of premiums, compared to an average of 6%).  Excellent performance is being drowned out by poor investment returns. In my opinion, this is starting to look like a good spot to add more to the portfolio.

Work has been busy, so posting here has unfortunately fallen by the wayside. To start off, below is Prote’s stock portfolio as of December 31, 2025, extracted from the annual report. YTD returns aren’t exactly impressive, which was reflected in Q1, but if one looks for a silver lining, the last month has already been in the black. It is also noteworthy that the Nordic banks, which were in the portfolio for years, have been offloaded. Huhtamäki, Siili, and Sitowise have entered the portfolio. Verkkokauppa is out, and Zalando has come in “to replace” it.

Inderes              Q1 2026: CR 84.9 %, dividend per share NOK 8.0 - Inderes    Protector Forsikring ASA’s summarised results for Q1 2026 (Q1 2025) are:Combined ratio 84.9% (85.9)Gross written premium growth 20% (19), 21% (17) in local currenciesTotal investment return ...                             Results were already out yesterday. The combined ratio remained at a good level and written premium grew slightly. Need to digest this and dive deeper when I have the time. At a quick glance, the train keeps chugging along.

Sverre (ex-Protector CEO) has crafted an update to his Protector analysis. They are forecasting flat EPS for 2026 even though insurance premium income grows by 19% in their forecasts. This is due to their conservative assumption that the combined ratio returns closer to the long-term average (26e 87%), i.e., clearly higher than 2025 (84.7%). Their target price remains at 660 NOK. Interesting additional information about the UK commercial and real estate property insurance market, which Protector is now targeting. Until now, it has not been an attractive market because the value chain is complex (many intermediaries, commissions up to 40% of the premium), which eats into Protector’s cost-leadership advantage. Additionally, buyers/banks have a requirement for an A-credit rating, which Protector did not have previously (it does now). Finally, the market has very well-established relationships between players, which is why it has been difficult to break in. Now, the UK government is putting pressure on pricing transparency and reducing commission costs, as well as seeking to lower the threshold for switching insurance companies to facilitate competition. The UK property insurance market is huge, approx. £1bn, meaning it is similar in scale to launching in a new Nordic market. Currently, Protector has only insured public sector properties in the UK. Commercial and real estate properties are also attractive because the majority of claims come from small so-called frequency losses, which reduces volatility/variance. 260224-+Protector+Q4+25+(for+utsendelse)[76].pdf (2.4 MB)

True, it’s a pretty tight range. One could also put CR at 88% for the bear scenario and 83% for the bull, but I would give them clearly less weight than the values I used.
