High Financial Leverage
highHIG's debt-to-equity ratio stands at 3.53x, which is elevated and reflects the capital-intensive nature of the insurance business. While typical for insurers given policyholder liabilities, this level of leverage amplifies sensitivity to adverse loss developments or investment portfolio deterioration. A significant increase in claims or a sharp decline in asset values could pressure the balance sheet.
