The case for and against

Updated Jul 18, 2026

Bull case

The Hartford Insurance Gr is a diversified insurance and financial services company with a strong reputation for service excellence and sustainability practices. While the recent acquisition of Wellington Management's mutual funds business may initially be dilutive to earnings, we expect it to become accretive in the longer term through buybacks. The company's non-P&C businesses, while small, are steadily improving and our price target of $135 is based on the company's strong book value and potential to deploy excess capital efficiently in the future.

Bear case

The Hartford Insurance Gr is selling its asset management business to Wellington for $1.9 billion, with $300 million in cash at closing and an expected after-tax realized loss of $150 million. The sale will also result in a pre-closing dividend of $170 million and initial quarterly payments of $65 million, potentially negatively impacting reported earnings. Other potential challenges for the company include a decrease in loss reserves, a decline in retention, and a major hurricane in an area where the company has significant exposure. These risks could affect The Hartford's competitive position and overall financial stability.
