Re MHLD it is not the returns that are compelling, it is the (seemingly) low risk way they achieved it. as far as I can tell, they have a loss quarter since 2009, even in quarters with major natural disasters. Their investment portfolio is very high quality (see the link to a presentation in my last post). To achieve a roughly 10% book value growth/year in a soft insurance market without incurring large risks is quite impressive, imo. Either that, or the results are manipulated, but I think the management buys indicate that the books should be alright.
