  • Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited
    FAIRFAX FINANCIAL HOLDINGS LIMITED To Our Shareholders: Last year we told you that we had an excellent year building intrinsic value even though it was not obvious in the numbers. This year was even better but it was completely masked by hedging losses and unrealized mark to market losses caused by fluctuations in the market price of our investments. Our insurance and reinsurance companies had an outstanding year in 2013 with a combined ratio of 92.7% with excellent reserving and a record underwriting profit of $440 million(1). We also realized $1.4 billion of net gains from our investment portfolio (predominantly from our common stock portfolio). Excluding all hedging losses and before mark to market fluctuations in our investment portfolio, we earned $1.9 billion in pre-tax income. Including all hedging losses and mark to market fluctuations in our investment portfolio, we reported a $565 million after-tax loss for 2013. We expect the unrealized mark to market losses to reverse in the future (as of February 28, 2014, we had an unrealized mark to market gain in our investment portfolio of more than $1 billion – after tax, this would have eliminated our net loss in 2013). The table below shows all this clearly: 2013 Results Underwriting profit 440 Investment income and other 382 Operating income 822 Runoff (excluding investment gains and losses) 77 Interest expense (211) Corporate overhead and other (125) Pre-tax income excluding net investment gains (losses) 563 Realized investment gains 1,380 Pre-tax income including realized investment gains 1,943 Unrealized investment losses (mostly from bonds) (962) Hedging losses (1,982) Pre-tax loss (1,001) Income tax recovery 436 Net loss (565) So all in, the result was a net loss of $565 million and a 7.8% decrease in book value (adjusted for the $10 per share dividend paid) to $339 per share.

  • Home Insurance Policy
    Home Insurance Policy Comprehensive Plan Simple Documentation Home is where the heart is Home is where the heart is. There are no truer words than these. Our entire life revolves around our home. Besides being an investment of our life's savings, home is also the place of our dreams. Alive with countless warm memories. Samuel Johnson's words ring true here “To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition”. However, specified natural calamities and man-made dangers can threaten the security of your home. Painful as it can be we need to secure it and provide for re-creating it, in case of damage due to unforseen circumstances.

We endeavor to guarantee absolute peace of mind from all uncertainties in your day-to-day life with this unique policy. We are committed to being by your side in your time of need.

The compensation under this cover will be paid to repair damages to the structure caused by specified natural and man-made calamities • Contents Cover - This is for the possessions you have inside your home. If these are damaged or burgled, then the insurance covers the loss you incur for the same You can take either one of these covers individually or opt for both to make sure you are covered comprehensively.

ISSN 1020-0959 (print) ISSN 1682-7678 (online) Bad bank resolutions and bank lending Michael Brei∗, Leonardo Gambacorta♦, Marcella Lucchetta♠ and Bruno Maria Parigi♣ Abstract The paper investigates whether impaired asset segregation tools, otherwise known as bad banks, and recapitalisation lead to a recovery in the originating banks’ lending and a reduction in non-performing loans (NPLs). Results are based on a novel data set covering 135 banks from 15 European banking systems over the period 2000–16. The main finding is that bad bank segregations are effective in cleaning up balance sheets and promoting bank lending only if they combine recapitalisation with asset segregation. Used in isolation, neither tool will suffice to spur lending and reduce future NPLs. Exploiting the heterogeneity in asset segregation events, we find that asset segregation is more effective when: (i) asset purchases are funded privately; (ii) smaller shares of the originating bank’s assets are segregated; and (iii) asset segregation occurs in countries with more efficient legal systems.

  • Fairfax India to up Stake in Bengaluru Airport, Siemens to Mark Partial Exit
    By Keshav Sunkara | 30 March 2018 Fairfax India to up stake in Bengaluru Airport, Siemens to mark partial exit Canadian billionaire Prem Watsa’s Fairfax India Holdings Corporation is set to acquire a 6% stake in Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL) from Siemens Project Ventures GmbH for $67 million (Rs 440 crore). Following the acquisition, Fairfax India’s stake in the company will increase to 54%, the public investment firm said in a press note. Siemens will, however, retain a 20% stake in BIAL. The Karnataka State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation and the Airport Authority of India hold 13%, each, in the company. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and third-party consents, including lenders’ consent. The deal is expected to be completed by June 2018. BIAL operates the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. It has a concession agreement with the Government of India till 2038, with a right to extend the contract for another 30 years. “Siemens is one of the original shareholders of BIAL and have contributed immensely to the development of Kempegowda International Airport into a world class airport, which is a gateway to and from India,” said Fairfax India chairman Prem Watsa. “We look forward to continuing to work with Siemens and the other BIAL shareholders in the further expansion of the airport,” he added. Faifax India has been piling up its stake in BIAL since March 2016, when it had acquired a 33% stake from GVK Power and Infrastructure Ltd for Rs 2,149 crore. Subsequently, in April 2016 it had reportedly picked up another 5% stake in the company from Zurich Airport for Rs 327 crore, and followed it up by acquiring GVK Power & Infrastructure’s entire 10% stake in BIAL last June for Rs 1,290 crore.
