@VituVingiSana;The stake/number of shares is not that significant as the majority of the stake is held by the saccos.
I don't see the reason to sell out as CIC is the only insurance company that makes underwriting profit
I find the P/B quite high for CIC. And Britam I believe makes or made an underwriting profit too.

@VituVingiSana;
The P/B is quite high because of the future anticipated growth of the company.Another company with a similar high P/B is ARM,Safaricom,EABL,NMG

True. And I missed out on all of them! ARM, Safcom, EABL [from the 200s], NMG and CIC...!

@mwekez@ji;
Check their annual book of accounts report.
Kenya re admitted they made an underwriting loss.
CIC made an underwriting profit.Most insurance companies make profits from investment income and unrealised gains in quoted equities,bonds etc

@Ericsson, Kenya Re was not covered in the report coz it’s a re-insurer . All noted listed insurers made underwriting profit and investment income. Sample Jubilee report which explicitly states their underwriting profit http://www.jubileeinsurance.com...%20Report-2012-Final.pdf
