Listen "23. The essential intermediary between risk and security"
Episode Synopsis
For our twenty-third episode, we're talking about insurance. [pause] Okay, okay, stick with me! [chuckles] I know it doesn't sound exciting, but what if I told you there was a way to profit from the massive, essential insurance industry without taking the risk of a hurricane, a flood, or a wildfire? Today's company is not an insurance company. They are an insurance broker. They are the expert guides, the trusted advisors who help businesses navigate the complex world of risk. They are the ultimate middleman in a multi-trillion dollar industry. We are talking about the incredibly successful, family-led compounding machine... Brown & Brown.When you think of major players in the financial world, insurance brokers might not be the first to come to mind. But Brown & Brown ($BRO), one of the largest and most successful insurance brokerage firms in the world, tells a powerful story of consistent growth. For decades, their core business has been the unglamorous but incredibly steady work of connecting businesses and individuals with the right insurance products, from property and casualty to employee benefits.The real engine behind Brown & Brown’s success, however, is its relentless and disciplined acquisition strategy. The company has a long history of buying up smaller insurance agencies and integrating them into its decentralized, entrepreneurial culture. This has turned Brown & Brown into a compounding machine, quietly consolidating a fragmented industry. But in an increasingly digital world, can this old-school model of growth through acquisition continue to deliver market-beating returns? We're examining the fine print to see if Brown & Brown's stock is a reliable policy for a long-term portfolio.Created with love by Emil Lazzaroni 2 new episodes per week, until I can find good companies to hold forever.
