P/C Insurer Portfolio Yields, 2003-2016

Sources: NAIC data, sourced from S&P Global Market Intelligence; Insurance Information Institute.

Even as prevailing rates rise in the next few years, portfolio yields are unlikely to rise quickly,

since low yields of recent years are “baked in” to future returns.

P/C carrier yields have been falling for over a decade, reflecting the long downtrend in

prevailing interest rates.

Underwriting Investment

Sources of P/C Insurer Profits, 2007-2016

Sources: NAIC data, sourced from S&P Global Market Intelligence; Insurance Information Institute.

Insurer gains from investments vary from year to year (they plunged in 2008-09) but in the last decade, excluding the effect of the Great Recession,

ranged between $55 billion and $65 billion each year. In contrast, net underwriting gains have not exceeded $21 billion in any year and were actual

losses in five of the 10 years.

Investment income modeled as a flat percentage of premium in each year. 4Includes impact of semi- and fully autonomous vehicles. 5Assumes a 25 percent reduction in premiums as a result of telematics and sensors and a 50 percent risk transfer to commercial product l iability.

Major Construction Projects Don’t Start Without Insurance

An example: Boston’s “Big Dig.”

At $14 billion, the project was…

Larger than the original Panama

Canal

More expensive than the “Chunnel”

connecting France and England

Among the carriers who were

winning bidders were AIG,

Lexington, Zurich-American and

Kemper Environmental.

Workforce included 150 general

contractors, 600 construction

50 feet of the excavation would

collapse

As Financial Intermediaries, Insurers Expand the Funds Available to Grow the Economy

As financial intermediaries, insurers convert short-term funds

into longer-term investments

In 2015, the industry converted $71 billion in premium income that was not needed for immediate claims payments into new long-term investments (bonds, mortgages, common and preferred stock, and owned real estate)

Insurance claims administration and payment is the most efficient way to achieve rapid recovery

Insurers perform this function more quickly and reliably than government or other aid organizations

This effect benefits not just those directly affected but also the wider community

After SuperStorm Sandy, 93% of claims were closed within 6 months

For the Economy, Insurance Is Growing in Importance
