Keeley Funds Comment on Air Lease Corp
Voya Financial ( VOYA ) also had a difficult quarter, dropping over 17% and detracting 53 basis points from the FundAAAs performance. The companyAAAs stock was hit hard by a significant earnings miss from lower-than-expected alternative investment income in the first quarter. Looking ahead, Voya expects continued improvement in ongoing operations, good capital management, and appropriate management of its closed block of business. While the 10-year Treasury yield falling below 1.50% is perceived to be a headwind for life insurance firms, the company is somewhat shielded from the pernicious effects of a low interest rate environment due to its fee-heavy retirement and asset management segments. We continue to believe that VOYA is inexpensive, trading at more than a 50% discount to intrinsic value.
