![]() “The top-ranked subsectors in our analysts’ eyes are property and casualty insurance and payments,” says Kelley. While Forbes' All-Stars single out financial companies with great five-year track records, KBW’s analysts believe sectors like insurance will outperform in 2023, pointing out Allstate as a favorite, though it did not make Forbes' 2023 Financial All-Stars list. Berkley are also among the top performers. Credit card giants Visa, Mastercard and American Express are the three companies with the highest market capitalizations on the list, and insurers like Progressive and billionaire-owned W. “The capital markets environment has been shut for a record length at this point, and the bounce historically has been significant.”Ī few more recognizable names qualified for the list in other subsectors, including alternative asset managers Blackstone, nearing $1 trillion in assets, and credit-oriented Ares Management, which posted the best risk-adjusted return and total return of any company in the five-year period the list examined. “We’ve shifted our preference going into 2023 towards the large-cap banks,” says Kelley. Matt Kelley, director of research at KBW, attributes the absence of large-cap banks to a slowdown in capital markets activity in 2022, but thinks that could change by next year. Instead, the honorees are regional banks like Texas’ Cullen/Frost Bankers and OFG Bancorp, one of three Puerto Rican banks that made the list. īanks make up almost half of the All-Stars with 24 companies, but nationwide giants like JPMorgan, Bank of America and Wells Fargo are nowhere to be found. The list represents the upper echelon of the 556 companies KBW covers in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Half of the methodology was based on KBW’s risk-adjusted return for the five years ending in September 2022, a ratio that reduces total return by a measure of the stocks’ volatility, and the other half came from a set of fundamental metrics KBW analysts deemed important for each category like revenue growth or debt to equity. The inaugural Forbes Financial All-Stars list presents 50 companies selected by the financial services specialists at KBW in seven sub sectors–banks, capital markets, consumer finance, fintech, insurance, mortgage finance and business development companies.
