What Allianz does

One of the world's largest insurers, selling property/casualty and life/health insurance, plus asset management via PIMCO.

Collects premiums for property, accident, life and health cover and invests them, earning on both the underwriting result and the investment return. Its asset managers, PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors, are paid fees on money they manage for others, a separate stream that does not depend on insurance claims.

Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
