U.S. Insured Catastrophe Losses

*Estimate through 3/31/16 in 2015 dollars. Note: 2001 figure includes $20.3B for 9/11 losses reported through 12/31/01 ($25.9B 2011 dollars). Includes only business and personal property claims, business interruption and auto claims. Non-prop/BI losses = $12.2B ($15.6B in 2011 dollars.) Sources: Property Claims Service/ISO; Insurance Information Institute.

2013/14/15 were welcome respites from 2011/12—the latter being among the costliest years for insured disaster losses in US history.

The longer-term trend is for more costly events.

2012 was the 3rd most expensive year ever for

insured CAT losses

Likelihood of a recession remains

low (15.7%)

The plotted value for each date is based solely on information as it would have been publicly available and reported as of one quarter after the indicated date, with 2015:Q4 the last date shown on the graph. Shaded regions represent NBER-dated recessions; which were sometimes not reported until two years after a recession was determined to have ended, and were not used in any way in constructing the index.

NBER-dated recessions tend to

follow when the Index reaches 40%

10-YrYield

Yields on 10-Year US Treasury Notes have been below 3% for 5 years: bonds bought in 2006 at 5% will be reinvested

at 1.5% for 10 more years

Since roughly 80% of P/C bond/cash investments are in 5-to-10-year durations, most P/C insurer portfolios will have low-yielding bonds for years to come.

US Treasury yields plunged to historic lows in

2013, then rebounded but

are sinking again

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