Insurance spending has continued to rise even as businesses and individuals rein in other expenses, reflecting efforts to guard against climate-related disasters and emerging risks such as cyber threats. The insurer’s pre-tax net investment income rose 8% to a record $1.69 billion in the reported quarter. Insurers typically allocate a portion of their capital across different asset classes, including fixed-income securities and equities, with returns often mirroring broader market trends. Catastrophe losses were $365 million on a pre-tax basis, compared with $607 million a year earlier. Catastrophe losses remain a key source of volatility for U.S. insurers, largely tied to hurricanes, wildfires and other severe weather, with both the timing and intensity of such events having a material impact on results. Last month, property/casualty insurance giant Travelers beat Wall Street estimates for fourth-quarter profit, propelled by stronger underwriting performance and higher investment returns. The company’s core operating income, net of tax, rose to $2.98 billion, or $7.52 per share, in the three months ended December 31. That compares with $2.45 billion, or $6.02 per share, a year earlier.
