"London-based Willis Towers Watson Public Limited Company (NASDAQ:WTW) is one of the largest global insurance brokerage and consulting companies. The company continues to execute on its turnaround plan to improve profitability. The divestiture of its direct-to-consumer insurance distribution business at the end of 2024, however, caused a decline in cash flows for its most recent quarter and weighed on its shares. We like Willis Towers Watson’s high customer retention and ability to participate in nominal economic drift, and we continue to believe that the company’s turnaround plan will help drive growth and improve returns."
