Having struggled to maintain profitability in its asset management business over the past few years, Zurich Financial Services has now rid itself of Threadneedle. This has given Amex a bargain-basement entry into the world of asset management but the near future is not looking too rosy for this sector.<BR />

The sale of Threadneedle is the Zurich's latest effort to balance its books following heavy losses on its equity portfolio. Zurich has already announced heavy cost-cuts and has completed a rights issue to increase funds. With strong branding and performance Threadneedle is an attractive target, but finding a buyer might be tricky in the current market.

Zurich Financial Services has announced that its subsidiary Farmers Group has entered into an agreement to acquire rival US motor insurer Bristol West Holdings. This looks to be a sensible move as, provided the deal goes ahead, Zurich should see significant growth in its US non-standard motor business.

Zurich's [ZURZN.VX] Q1 results are further confirmation that the insurer has turned itself around. However, the insurance market was good to Zurich in 2003, and the strength of its restructured business will be severely tested when the market softens, as it looks set to do this year.

Last month, RBS announced that it is to sell its insurance arm, RBSI, in an attempt to increase its capital base in the wake of the ongoing liquidity crisis. As well as boosting the portfolio of the company that successfully makes the acquisition, the move would have industry-wide implications, as the sale of brands including Direct Line would have major repercussions in motor and home insurance.

Zurich's fall into the red was driven by the September 11 tragedy combined with a general economic slowdown. Simultaneously, the insurer's payouts rocketed while its investment income plummeted. On the positive side, 2001 was a difficult year for many insurers throughout the world. Things should get better this year.

Zurich Financial Services has released its Q1 results, which show that its general insurance business reduced its combined ratio and generated strong profits. The Swiss insurer's results are another example of how a policy of conservative discipline in underwriting and focusing on profitable business lines is the right course to steer in the current insurance industry climate.

Zurich [ZURZN.VX] has announced a recovery in profits, and hinted that there are further improvements to come. Zurich has big ambitions in the UK personal general insurance market, however the success of this strategy will depend on the performance of the broker channel - a risky strategy given the latter's declining revenues last year.

Zurich's performance vindicates a wide-reaching restructuring program that entailed the loss of thousands of jobs and the disposal of a raft of non-core activities. The insurer has sharpened its focus on its most profitable insurance lines and is on course to achieve its year-end profit target.

Zurich's [ZURZn.VX] $1 billion bond issue comes hot on the heels of a similar move by Aviva last week. Zurich is seeking to consolidate after an over ambitious expansion program, but it needs to remember that a full recovery in the UK life insurance sector is still some way off.
