MIDAS Share Tips - From Weekend

Insurance broker Brightside (BRT) has devised a technology called RedEye, that tracks whether customers change certain key facts when applying for insurance online.

If suspicions are raised then details are checked and policies are rarely issued until after driving licence information has been confirmed. As a result Brightside's record is far better than many rivals so gets better rates from underwriters and offer cheaper insurance policies to customers.

Brightside has a niche in vehicle insurance, insuring minibuses, taxis, and motorbikes as well as vans. It is moving increasingly into online insurance and believes its RedEye technology gives it a real edge.

Midas says : Brightside's share price was badly affected by the financial crisis, but they started to recover last summer. In recent weeks the price has dropped from 40p to 35.5p after admitting the life insurance arm was not growing as fast as hoped.

Current weakness represents a good buying opportunity. The life insurance business should improve as economic conditions improve, but life assurance is in any case only a small part of the group. Brightside's white van insurance business should also pick up at the same time and its car, motorbike and other internet insurance products are expanding fast.

Chase-Gardener and his colleagues own more than 40 per cent of the shares so they are clearly motivated to make the company do well. Buy.
