Our strategy is to diversify our book of business so that property cat
is one of many components of our business
Results demonstrate that we adequately manage our risk exposure
Our reserving process has been tested by large, recent loss events
including:
2011 Australia floods, New Zealand earthquake, Japan
earthquake and tsunami, US spring storms, Hurricane Irene, Thai
floods
2010 Chile earthquake, New Zealand earthquake
2008 Hurricanes Ike/Gustav
Superior Risk Management
