CNO Financial Group

At the KBW Insurance Conference, CNO Financial presented its strategy: growth through higher agent productivity, a broader product mix and a focus on middle-income Americans. Return on equity already exceeds the prior 12% target for 2027, and broker-dealer assets rose to $19 billion in the second quarter. Management plans a three-year technology modernization of about $170 million that should support long-term growth but is likely to produce little near-term earnings. CNO emphasizes organic growth, cross-selling through Medicare products and a shift of direct-to-consumer sales from TV to digital channels. » Mere på de.investing.com
