1950-70: ROEs were lower in this period. Low interest rates,

low inflation, “Bureau” rate regulation all played a role

1970-90: Peak ROEs were much higher in this period while troughs

were comparable. High interest rates, rapid inflation, economic

volatility all played roles

1990-2010s: Déjà vu. Excluding mega-

CATs, this period is very similar to the 1950-1970 period

Recession2-Yr Yield10-Yr Yield

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.

U.S. Treasury yields plunged to historic lows in 2013. Longer-

term yields rebounded then sank fell again.

Surplus as of 6/30/15 stood at a near-record high $672.4B

2010:Q1 data includes $22.5B of paid-in capital from a holding company parent for one insurer’s investment in a non-insurance business .

The industry now has $1 of surplus for every $0.73 of NPW,close to the strongest claims-paying status in its history.

Drop due to near-record 2011 CAT losses

death rates per 100,000,000 vehicle miles

The recession and high gas prices reduced

miles driven, accelerating the drop in

death rates

Motor vehicle fatality rates appear to be ticking up in 2015

Vehicle death rates fell by nearly half between 1990 and 2010

From November 2007 until January 2015, miles driven was

below the prior peak for 87 straight months—

over 7 years! Previous record was in the early 1980s (39 months).

Some of the 1990-2007 growth in miles driven (+43.9%) is due to population growth (+20.7%)…

New records in 2015

…but the population grew by 6.6% from 2007-2015 and miles driven didn’t grow at all.
