Assume Underwriting Operations Not Affected• Ability to take rate changes not driven by investment results• Growth rates in exposure does not change

Investment Scenario• Long run average interest rate of 4% • Starting interest rate of 4%

Investment Models• Short term interest rate model is a mean reversion model• Long term rates are a function of short term rates• Stock returns modeled as a function of short term rates and interest rate changes• Stable relationship between bond and equity market
