Middle Coast Investing Daniel Shvartsman | “F&G Annuities & Life ($FG) provides fixed annuity and life insurance products tailored for retail retirement planning and institutional markets. F&G Annuities & Life ($FG) represents 2.2% of the fund's portfolio. The manager remains bullish and selectively added shares at the beginning of Q3, viewing the company as substantially undervalued relative to stated book value despite underwhelming near-term investment returns. In theory, higher benchmark interest rates provide strong operating tailwinds for fixed annuity providers by increasing product yields, boosting sales volumes, and enhancing net investment spreads. However, the company's asset portfolio has experienced headwinds from underperforming alternative investments. Despite this drag, the shares trade at a deep discount to tangible book value, creating a wide margin of safety if investment yields normalize. Potential catalysts include a rebound in alternative asset yields, strategic absorption by or alignment with parent Fidelity National Financial (FNF), and continued annuity sales expansion. Key risks to track include further asset write-downs on alternative investments and balance sheet degradation.” | BULL | Q3 2026 Oct 12, 2026 | View Pitch |
Middle Coast Investing Daniel Shvartsman | “F&G Annuities & Life has faced investor skepticism regarding its asset portfolio and partnership with Blackstone, specifically in private credit. Although underlying asset details are somewhat opaque to outside investors, the company's valuation remains supported by a significant book value, a newly expanded share buyback program, and active insider purchases by the CEO.” | BULL | Q1 2026 Apr 10, 2026 | View Pitch |
