Our underwriting teams are well positioned to respond to anticipated improvement in regional property markets. Premium volume was up across all three segments, led by strong growth in GlobalRe, our global reinsurance segment. Our investment portfolio continued to perform well, with Net Investment Income up 13.7% for the quarter. During the quarter, we made a modest strengthening of prior year loss reserves across a number of lines of business, reflecting our commitment to maintaining prudent levels of loss reserving and a solid balance sheet.”
