Gradually Benefit the Economy Broadly

was severe

The Q4:2008 decline was the steepest since the Q1:1982

Car/Light Truck Sales Will Continue to Recover from the 2009 Low Point, Bolstering the Auto Insurer Growth and the Manufacturing Sector.

New auto/light truck sales fell to the lowest level since the late 1960s. Forecast for 2013-14 is

still far below 1999-2007 average of 17 million units, but a robust

recovery is well underway.

Job growth and improved credit market conditions will boost auto sales in

2013 and beyond

Yields on 10-Year U.S. Treasury Notes have been essentially below 5% for a full decade.

Since roughly 80% of P/C bond/cash investments are in 10-year or shorter durations, most P/C insurer portfolios will have low-yielding bonds for years to come.

rose 55bp from its all time record lows to 1.98% in Feb. 2013
