Quarterly Fund Manager Review Global equities advanced in the second quarter, supported by the accelerating roll-out of Covid-19 vaccines. Growth stocks outperformed more lowly valued parts of the market. Government bonds yields saw divergent performance. US 10-year yields fell (meaning prices rose) while yields rose in Europe. Corporate bonds outperformed government bonds. Commodities gained with energy again the strongest component. The second quarter was strong for US equities, and the S&P 500 reached a new all-time high in late June. Almost all sectors made gains over the quarter. Tech giants like Apple, Alphabet and Microsoft made strong gains over the quarter. By sector, energy, IT, communication services and real estate were amongst the strongest areas of the market. Utilities and consumer staples lagged. Eurozone shares also gained, supported by a strong corporate earnings season. Many European countries saw Covid-19 infections fall and were able to loosen restrictions on social and economic activity. UK equities also performed well in the second quarter, although beneath the strong headline figure the quarter was mixed. Japanese shares underperformed other developed markets in the second quarter, while emerging market equities registered a strong return. US Treasury yields declined over the quarter, with the 10-year falling from 1.74% to 1.47%, retracing some of the large move higher in the first quarter. The broad backdrop was a continued pronounced rebound in economic activity with annualised inflation rates rising well above target to levels not seen in over a decade. European government bonds underperformed the US, amid growing optimism about the region’s recovery and accelerating vaccination programme. The German 10-year yield rose from -0.29% to -0.20%, France’s from just below zero to 0.13%. The Italian 10-year yield rose from 0.67% to 0.82%. The UK 10-year yield fell from 0.85% to 0.72%, following a sharp rise in the previous period. The UK residential property market has recorded a robust performance in recent months, with strong demand in many parts of the country and prices of homes significantly higher than a year earlier. The Covid-19 pandemic has also accelerated the move to e-retailing, which has led to increased demand for warehouses.

  • Scottish Widows to Review Asset Management Arrangements and Terminate Partnership Agreements with Standard Life Aberdeen
    Thursday 15 February 2018 SCOTTISH WIDOWS TO REVIEW ASSET MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS AND TERMINATE PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENTS WITH STANDARD LIFE ABERDEEN Scottish Widows and Lloyds Banking Group’s Wealth businesses have decided to review their asset management arrangements and have therefore given notice to Standard Life Aberdeen plc (“Standard Life Aberdeen”) to terminate their partnership agreements with Aberdeen Asset Management plc (“Aberdeen”). Scottish Widows and Wealth entered into the partnership with Aberdeen following the sale of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership in 2014. This included long-term contracts for the management by Aberdeen of over £100bn of assets on behalf of Scottish Widows and Wealth. These contracts enabled Scottish Widows and Wealth to terminate the contracts in the event that Aberdeen was subject to a change of control with a material competitor. Aberdeen recently completed a merger with Standard Life plc, which is a material competitor of Scottish Widows and also of Wealth. At the time, Scottish Widows and Wealth agreed to delay a decision regarding the exercise of their termination rights for a period of six months following completion of the merger, during which period the parties agreed to discuss in good faith ways to build a successful relationship and address the competition issue. As no agreement has been reached, Scottish Widows and Wealth have decided to terminate their partnership agreements with Standard Life Aberdeen and to review their long-term asset management arrangements. Aberdeen has delivered good service and performance and Scottish Widows and Wealth would welcome their participation in the review if Standard Life Aberdeen is able to resolve the competition issue.

  • 2019 Insurance Fact Book
    2019 Insurance Fact Book TO THE READER Imagine a world without insurance. Some might say, “So what?” or “Yes to that!” when reading the sentence above. And that’s understandable, given that often the best experience one can have with insurance is not to receive the benefits of the product at all, after a disaster or other loss. And others—who already have some understanding or even appreciation for insurance—might say it provides protection against financial aspects of a premature death, injury, loss of property, loss of earning power, legal liability or other unexpected expenses. All that is true. We are the financial first responders. But there is so much more. Insurance drives economic growth. It provides stability against risks. It encourages resilience. Recent disasters have demonstrated the vital role the industry plays in recovery—and that without insurance, the impact on individuals, businesses and communities can be devastating. As insurers, we know that even with all that we protect now, the coverage gap is still too big. We want to close that gap. That desire is reflected in changes to this year’s Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.)Insurance Fact Book. We have added new information on coastal storm surge risk and hail as well as reinsurance and the growing problem of marijuana and impaired driving. We have updated the section on litigiousness to include tort costs and compensation by state, and assignment of benefits litigation, a growing problem in Florida. As always, the book provides valuable information on: • World and U.S. catastrophes • Property/casualty and life/health insurance results and investments • Personal expenditures on auto and homeowners insurance • Major types of insurance losses, including vehicle accidents, homeowners claims, crime and workplace accidents • State auto insurance laws The I.I.I.
