Gradually Benefit the Economy Broadly

was severe

Consumer Sentiment Survey (1966 = 100)
January 2010 through November 2013
Consumer confidence has been low for years amid high unemployment, falling home prices and other factors adversely impact consumers, but improved substantially over the past two years, though
uncertainty in Washington is taking a toll.Source: University of Michigan; Insurance Information Institute
Optimism among consumers dropped in September/October as the government shutdown
created uncertainty but is now rebounding

Car/Light Truck Sales Will Continue to Recover from the 2009 Low Point, Bolstering the Auto Insurer Growth and the Manufacturing Sector Along
With Workers Comp Exposures
New auto/light truck sales fell to the lowest level since the late 1960s. Forecast for 2013-14 is
still 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
Truck purchases by contractors are especially strong

Insurers Are Starting to See Meaningful Exposure Growth for the First Time Since 2005 Associated with Home Construction: Construction Risk Exposure,
Surety, Commercial Auto; Potent Driver of Workers Comp Exposure
New home starts plunged 72% from 2005-2009; A net
annual decline of 1.49 million units, lowest since records began
in 1959
Job growth, low inventories of existing homes, low mortgage
rates and demographics are stimulating new home construction
for the first time in years

Yields on 30-Year mortgages have been below 6% for a five
years
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.
Yields on 30-Year Mortgages in the U.S. plunged to all time record
lows in late 2012 and early 2013 but are now rising as the Fed
considers tapering its QE program

TRIA Outlook
Difficult Reauthorization Battle Ahead
Very difficult to overcome antigovernment/small government, Tea Party forces in the House
Most Committee members in both houses weren’t around in 2007
House Hearings in 2012; House and Senate in Sept. 2013
If Reauthorized, Insurer Participation Likely Increased
Some Have Attacked TRIA as “Corporate Welfare” In reality the taxpayer is 100% protected NFIP, Crop programs have led to miscomprehensions
Emphasizing Benefits to Employees Under WC is Key
Misperception by Some that Terrorism is Urban Issue
Growth Opportunity: Standalone Cover if No Reauthorization Though limited capacity will not be sufficient to meet need

In 2003, the first year TRIA was in effect, the terrorism take-up rate was 27 percent. Since then, it has increased steadily, remaining in the
low 60 percent range since 2009.
Take-up rates for smaller commercial risks are lower—
potentially very low in some areas and industries

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.

The main shift over these years has been from bonds with longer maturities to bonds with shorter maturities. The industry first trimmed its holdings of over-10-year bonds
(from 24.6% in 2003 to 15.5% in 2012) and then trimmed bonds in the 5-10-year category (from 31.3% in 2003 to 27.6% in 2012) . Falling average maturity of the P/C industry’s bond portfolio is contributing to a drop in investment income along with lower yields.
