Insurers? Ex-Blackrock Fund Manager Discovers
Disturbing Trends In Mortality
Four
weeks ago, OneAmerica insurance company CEO Scott
Davison revealed that they had witnessed 'the highest
death rates in the history of this business - not just at
OneAmerica' with a jump of '40% over what
they were pre-pandemic.' Interestingly, Davison
noted that the majority of deaths are not classified as due to
Covid-19.
Ex-Blackrock fund manager Ed Dowd is in the former camp, and has spent the last month analyzing breadcrumbs associated with a rise in excess mortality vs. pre-pandemic levels. Given that we're now in the middle of earnings season, there are some pretty big crumbs rolling out of the insurance and funeral services industries which are beginning to paint a disturbing picture. A few key observations:
On Tuesday, financial insurance
company Unum reported that their Life segment saw an increase of
9% in their ratio of payouts vs. premiums
(Benefit ratio), a 17.4% increase in 2021 vs. 2020 despite widespread
vaccinations, and a 13.3% increase
over 2019.
In general, funeral
homes saw an uptick in business in Q3, and Dowd will
be closely monitoring Q4 reports which are expected
around Feb. 15 - less than two weeks away.
Reinsurance Group of America, for example, reported a profit in Q4 2020 when the most of the population was unvaccinated and amid a deadlier strain of Covid-19, yet they registered a loss in Q4 2021 with more than 60% of the country fully vaccinated (and around 75% who have received at least one dose). Perhaps this is why Pfizer is now actively fighting to suppress research data submitted to the FDA for approval - while the pharmaceutical giant and its peers continue to enjoy legal immunity from vaccine injuries. In closing, some
tongue-in-cheek non investment advice from Dowd:
