Total gross written premiums were $17 million against $88 million a year ago.

Net earned premiums were $248 million against $194 million a year ago. Net investment income was $94 million against $98 million a year ago. The main drivers of the decrease in GAAP net loss was the benefit attributable to the UBS agreement and the lower non-economic net unrealized fair value losses, which result primarily from the narrowing of credit spreads of company’s insurance subsidiaries. Net earned premiums increased due primarily to higher accelerations.
