The insurance industry is notoriously commodity-like and difficult to generate high long-term returns in due to intense competition and lack of product differentiation.

The insurance industry is inherently commoditized and generally produces poor outcomes for investors unless a company finds a niche or achieves a cost advantage.

“In such a commodity like business, only a very low cost operator or someone operating in a protected and unusually small niche can sustain high profitability levels.”
