Banking and insurance are two major branches of the financial industry, often mirroring the larger economic climate. In economic upswings, banks typically benefit from increased lending. Similarly, insurance companies tend to grow as individuals and companies look for protection against an increasing array of risks. During economic downturns, both banking and insurance often show resilience due to the enduring need for their services. Investing in banking and insurance stocks can help keep a portfolio stable during market fluctuations.
