RIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT 100 UCITS ETF

Fund manager Matthew Tuttle made waves in the ETF space for his unique funds that offer ways for investors to get leveraged exposure or <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36500461/exclusive-the-man-who-shorts-cathie-wood-and-jim-cramer-filed-for-new-bitcoin-etfs-why-lev">bet against well-known financial figures</a> like Jim Cramer and Cathie Wood.
Tuttle is back with a new fund that gives investors a way to invest in companies that are not meeting ESG (environmental, social, and governance) requirements.
What Happened: Tuttle Capital Management launched the ETF Opportunities Trust Tuttle Capital Shareholders First Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESGX#BATS">ESGX</a>), a new ETF that gives investors<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/esg/23/09/34288808/want-to-bet-against-woke-companies-theres-an-etf-for-that"> a way to invest </a>in companies that "focus on profits, not politics or trendy activisms of the moment."
"ESGX allows investors to choose a portfolio of companies that follow the comment sense notion that companies that focus on profits are better for investors than companies that don't," a press release for the fund reads.
The ETF follows the AJN Shareholders First Index, which tracks a portfolio of U.S. companies that meet the requirement of focusing on profits and ignoring politics and "trendy activisms of the moment."
"Too many companies today put ESG and DEI politics first and their shareholders' profits last," Tuttle Capital CEO Matthew Tuttle said. "ESG has become a way for liberal executives and large investors to enact social changes that they can't pass at the ballot box."
Tuttle said CEOs can be pressured to "cave to the trendy politics of the moment," and often times this is not in the best interest of shareholders.
"That's why we launched ESGX – to put shareholders and profits first."
Tuttle added that investors had limited options of ways to invest in companies that put profits ahead of politics before the ETF launched.
As of Sept. 9, the following were the top <a href="http://ShareholdersFirstETF.com">holdings </a>in the ESGX ETF:
<ul>
<li>MarketAxess Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MKTX#NASDAQ">MKTX</a>): 2.3% of assets</li>
<li>Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>): 2.2% of assets</li>

Self Defense ETF Also Launches: Tuttle Capital also launched the Spinnaker ETF Series Tuttle Capital Self Defense Index ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GUNZ#BATS">GUNZ</a>) Tuesday.

The ETF invests in companies that manufacture, service, supply and distribute personal and law enforcement defense equipment and protection services. The fund tracks the AJN Self Defense U.S. Equity Index.
"Americans feel less safe and feel there is more crime in the country now than last year. Many Americans are taking self defense into their own hands," Tuttle said.
Tuttle added that shares of gun manufacturers have also risen after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
"Gun sales have rebounded after nearly three years of continuous decline and firearms manufacturers world wide have seen their stock surge after the terrorist attack on Israel and the Trump assassination attempt."
As of Sept. 9, the following were the top <a href="https://www.gunzetf.com/">holdings </a>in the GUNZ ETF:

RLI Stock Near 52-Week High: What Investors Should Know?

The Property and Casualty (P&amp;C) insurance space is set to benefit from better pricing, prudent underwriting, increased exposure, an improving rate environment and a solid capital position. With the ongoing economic expansion, insurers remain well-poised for growth.&nbsp;
The Zacks-defined Property &amp; Casualty Insurance Industry is currently in the top 24% of the Zacks Industry Rank. In the past year, the industry has provided 19.7% returns, while its year-to-date return is 19.5%. Since it is ranked in the top half of the Zacks Ranked Industries, we expect it to outperform the market over the next three to six months.
<h2>Future Catalysts</h2>
Price hikes, operational strength, higher retention, strong renewal and the appointment of retail agents should help write higher premiums. The P&amp;C insurance industry is witnessing increased use of technology like blockchain, artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, telematics, cloud computing and robotic process automation that expedite business operations and save costs. Insurers continue to invest heavily in technology to improve basis points, scale and efficiencies.
Meanwhile, consolidation in the property and casualty industry is likely to continue as players look to diversify their operations into new business lines and geographies. Deloitte estimates more mergers and acquisitions in the reinsurance space in 2024.
Finally, a massive rise in the market interest rate will raise the cost of funds, enabling financial companies to widen the spread between longer-term assets, such as loans, with shorter-term liabilities, thus boosting the financial sector&#39;s profit margin.
<h2>Our Top Picks</h2>
We have narrowed our search to five P&amp;C insurers with strong potential for the rest of 2024. These stocks have seen positive earnings estimates in the last 30 days. Each of our picks carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
The chart below shows the price performance of our five picks in the past three months.

Arch Capital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/acgl#NASDAQ">ACGL</a>) boasts a strong product portfolio and has a solid track record of premium growth. Premiums should benefit from new business opportunities, rate increases, growth in existing accounts and growth in Australian single-premium mortgage insurance.&nbsp;
ACGL has also been diversifying its Mortgage Insurance business via strategic acquisitions that also complement the strength in the specialty insurance and reinsurance businesses. A solid capital position shields ACGL from market volatility. ACGL&#39;s growing Investment portfolio provides meaningful tailwinds to its bottom line. Strategic buyouts strengthen ACGL&#39;s portfolio and offer geographic diversification.&nbsp;
Arch Capital Group has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 15.1% and 5.7%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 0.4% over the last seven days.
The Allstate Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/all#NYSE">ALL</a>) is witnessing consistent growth in premiums, thanks to strategic acquisitions and expanding ventures. Rate hikes to counter inflationary pressures on loss costs are expected to continue in ALL&#39;s auto insurance business for 2024.&nbsp;
ALL&#39;s focus on optimizing core operations has allowed it to redirect resources toward high-growth areas. The sale of ALL&#39;s Health &amp; Benefits division is expected to free up capital. Cost-saving initiatives are projected to boost profits. ALL&#39;s cash-generating abilities are crucial for returning capital to its shareholders.
The Allstate has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 9.6% and more than 100%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 3.5% in the last seven days.
The Progressive Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pgr#NYSE">PGR</a>) continues to gain on higher premiums, given its compelling product portfolio, leadership position and strength in both Vehicle and Property businesses. Focus on becoming a one-stop insurance destination, catering to customers opting for a combination of home and auto insurance, augurs well for PGR&#39;s growth.&nbsp;
Policies in force and retention ratio should remain healthy. Competitive pricing to retain current customers and address their needs with new offerings should continue to drive policy life expectancy.
The Progressive has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 19.5% and 96.7%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 8.1% in the last 30 days.
RLI Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rli#NYSE">RLI</a>) is one of the industry&#39;s most profitable property and casualty writers with an impressive track record of underwriting profits. A strong local branch office network, a broad range of product offerings, and a focus on specialty insurance lines contribute to RLI&#39;s profits.&nbsp;
RLI&#39;s ability to maintain the combined ratio at favorable levels even in the toughest operating environment reflects superior underwriting discipline. RLI&#39;s decision to drop underperforming products from its property business also bodes well. A strong capital position provides financial flexibility to operating subsidiaries and supports wealth distribution to shareholders.
RLI has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 18.1% and 22.5%, respectively, for the current year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 3.6% over the last 30 days.

First American Financial (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/faf#NYSE">FAF</a>) is poised to grow, given the increased demand among millennials for first-time home purchases. The expansion of its valuation and data businesses, as well as strength in commercial business and technological upgrades, is expected. These, along with solid growth projections, make the Zacks rank #3 (Hold) stock worth retaining.
<h3>An Outperformer</h3>
Shares have gained 8.5% in the past month, outperforming the industry&#39;s growth of 7.6%, the Finance sector&#39;s decline of 1% and the Zacks S&amp;P 500 composite&#39;s increase of 0.7%.
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/ff/71942.jpg?v=482038030" />

<h3>Optimistic Growth Projection</h3>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 earnings is pegged at $3.83, indicating an increase of 0.8% on 4.7% higher revenues of $6.3 billion. The consensus estimate for 2025 earnings is pegged at $5.12, indicating an increase of 33.8% on 10.2% higher revenues of $6.9 billion. 
We expect 2026 EPS to witness a three-year CAGR of 11.3%.
<h3>Return on Equity</h3>
Return on equity (ROE) is a measure of profitability, reflecting how efficiently a company is utilizing its shareholders&#39; funds. FAF&#39;s trailing 12-month ROE of 8.2% outperformed the industry average of 7.8%. &nbsp;
<h3>Growth Drivers</h3>
An increased demand for first-time home purchases among millennials continues to drive results at First American. It expects housing demand, improving economy and labor markets to drive home price appreciation. Thus, banking on growing leadership in title data, courtesy of proprietary data extraction, sturdy distribution relationships, prudent underwriting and continued investments in technology, FAF remains well poised for long-term growth.
Growing direct premiums, escrow fees and title agent premiums should continue to drive the top line. We expect the 2026 top line to increase at a three-year CAGR of 8.2%.
Strategic initiatives to strengthen its product offerings, intensify the company&#39;s focus on its core business and expand FAF&#39;s valuation and data businesses bode well. Also, the expansion of title plant assets and the upgrade of technology solutions drive increased efficiency.
<h3>Impressive Dividend History and Share Buyback Plans</h3>
First American has a solid track record of dividend increase, with the metric witnessing an eight-year (2016-2024) CAGR of 8.2%. FAF&#39;s dividend yield of 3.9% compares positively with the industry average of 0.3%.
The company also engaged in share buyback and had $210.4 million remaining under its authorization as of Mar 31, 2024.
<h3>Risks</h3>
Despite the upside potential, there are a few factors that investors should keep an eye on. A challenging real estate and mortgage industry weigh on First American. Transaction volumes suffer due to higher mortgage rates and slow inventory growth. A tough mortgage origination market is a concern.
Also, as the Fed intends to lower rates, the company estimates that for each 25-basis point decline in the Fed funds rate, the annualized investment income will decline $15 million. But the ultimate amount will fluctuate depending on the level of cash and escrow balances.
First American&#39;s debt levels have been increasing in the past few years, with the debt-to-capital ratio deteriorating. Its times interest earned compares unfavorably with the industry average.&nbsp;

Progressive's Q2 Earnings Beat, Premiums Rise Y/Y

Marsh &amp; McLennan Companies, Inc.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mmc#NYSE">MMC</a>) Marsh McLennan Agency (&quot;MMA&quot;), a division of MMC&#39;s Marsh business, recently inked a definitive deal to purchase the Illinois-based leading full-service insurance broker, The Horton Group, Inc. The transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2024, but the terms of the deal have been kept under wraps.
The addition of Horton is expected to enhance the risk management capabilities of MMA and after the finalization of the acquisition, the acquiree&#39;s employees will be part of MMA and will continue operating from their current offices.
Horton seems to be a prudent pick by MMA since it has been providing property and casualty insurance, employee benefits consultation, and personal lines coverage to businesses and individuals in Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Florida for more than five decades.
Improved risk management strategies resulting from the recent acquisition are likely to fetch more clients to MMA and subsequently, drive the performance of the Risk and Insurance Services segment. The segment usually accounts for a major chunk of Marsh &amp; McLennan&#39;s overall top line and the unit&#39;s revenues advanced 9.4% year over year in the first quarter.
The sub-unit Marsh, through MMA, remains quite active throughout the year with respect to the acquisition spree and therefore, requires a special mention. MMA delivers business insurance, employee health and benefits, retirement and wealth management, and private client insurance solutions to individuals and mid-market organizations.
MMA bought Minnesota-based AmeriStar Agency and New Jersey-based Hudson Shore Group in July 2024. In June, it purchased Mississippi-based Fisher Brown Bottrell Insurance, Inc. to strengthen its risk management services suite and boost its Southeast presence. MMA also acquired Texas-based Perkins Insurance Agencies in May to fortify its footprint in the West Texas market.
The various units within the Risk and Insurance Services and Consulting segments of Marsh &amp; McLennan leverage acquisitions to enhance their product offerings, enter new markets, expand within current locations, venture into new business areas, and specialize within existing ones. In the first quarter, MMC spent $301 million on acquisitions.
Another business of MMC, Oliver Wyman, closed the buyout of the commodity trading advisory firm, Veritas Total Solutions, in July 2024, well within the targeted timeline. The Mercer business entered into a deal to acquire long-term savings specialist, Cardano, which operates mainly in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. The deal is likely to be completed by the end of this year. &nbsp;
Shares of Marsh &amp; McLennan have gained 13.3% in the past year compared with the industry&#39;s 8.5% growth. MMC currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

<h3>Business Tailwinds</h3>
Product diversification across the Casualty, Property and Surety segments of the company has fueled the insurer&#39;s growth and financial success. The Casualty segment continues to gain from an expanded distribution base in personal umbrella and rate increases.

Reasons Why Investors Should Consider Buying RLI Stock Now

Trupanion, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/trup#NASDAQ">TRUP</a>) has been benefiting from a focus on pet health and well-being in an underpenetrated pet insurance market, product launches, extended operating boundaries, as well as sufficient liquidity.
<h3>Growth Projections</h3>
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Trupanion&#39;s 2024 earnings per share indicates an increase of 57.4% from the year-ago reported number. The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $1.26 billion, implying a year-over-year improvement of 13.7%.
The consensus estimate for 2025 earnings per share and revenues indicates an increase of 95.4% and 6.5%, respectively, from the corresponding 2024 estimates.
The expected long-term earnings growth rate is 39.3% compared with the industry average of 17.1%.

<h3>Earnings Surprise History</h3>
Trupanion has a decent earnings surprise history. Its earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, delivering an average surprise of 43.13%.
<h3>Business Tailwinds</h3>
This provider of insurance for cats and dogs operates in a large but underpenetrated market. Management noted that less than 5% of the pets are insured in North America and a very low number across most of Europe. There is immense scope as there has been a change in the attitude of pet owners, who are increasingly focusing on pet health and well-being. TRUP is well poised for growth in a total addressable market worth $34.1 billion.&nbsp; The insurer envisions doubling its addressable market (defined by the number of veterinary hospitals) by the end of 2030.
Average monthly retention continues to be strong, ensuring uninterrupted revenue generation.&nbsp; The insurer has also been expanding globally as part of its five-year growth plan, apart from strengthening its compelling portfolio. TRUP noticed increasing contributions from European endeavors, which added about 14,400 new pets during 2023.
Its focus on introducing products bodes well for growth. Its portfolio of products comprising Chewy and Aflac, medium and low average monthly revenue per unit products Firkin and Phi Direct and products in continental Europe contributed 22% to gross new pet adds in the first quarter of 2024.
Over the long term, TRUP remains focused on growing adjusted operating income and deploying increasing amounts at high internal rates of return. The pet insurer&#39;s five-year plan includes a 15% adjusted operating margin.
TRUP projects revenues in the range of $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion, up 14% from the 2023 level. Subscription revenues are projected between $842 million and $862 million, up 20% from 2023. Total adjusted operating income is now expected to be in the range of $100 million to $120 million, up 32% year over year.
A solid balance sheet supports investment in new product development and international expansion. Trupanion expects these investments to expand the addressable market in the long run.
TRUP has a Growth Score of A. This style score helps analyze the growth prospects of a company.
<h3>Headwinds</h3>
However, Trupanion has been incurring higher expenses over the last several years, attributable to an increase in technology and development, general and administrative, new pet acquisition expenses, depreciation and amortization. The insurer must strive to generate revenue growth higher than the rise in the magnitude of expense, or else the margin will continue to erode.

Investors might want to bet on RLI Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rli#NYSE">RLI</a>), as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). This rating change essentially reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
The sole determinant of the Zacks rating is a company&#39;s changing earnings picture. The Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years is tracked by the system.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
Therefore, the Zacks rating upgrade for RLI Corp. basically reflects positivity about its earnings outlook that could translate into buying pressure and an increase in its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock Prices
The change in a company&#39;s future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. That&#39;s partly because of the influence of institutional investors that use earnings and earnings estimates for calculating the fair value of a company&#39;s shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their bulk investment action then leads to price movement for the stock.
Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for RLI Corp. imply an improvement in the company&#39;s underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate Revisions
As empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, tracking such revisions for making an investment decision could be truly rewarding. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
Earnings Estimate Revisions for RLI Corp.
This specialty insurance company is expected to earn $5.84 per share for the fiscal year ending December 2024, which represents a year-over-year change of 18.2%.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for RLI Corp. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 5.4%.
Bottom Line
Unlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of &#39;buy&#39; and &#39;sell&#39; ratings for its entire universe of more than 4000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a &#39;Strong Buy&#39; rating and the next 15% get a &#39;Buy&#39; rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.
The upgrade of RLI Corp. to a Zacks Rank #1 positions it in the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks in terms of estimate revisions, implying that the stock might move higher in the near term.
