All seven publicly traded Bermuda insurers and reinsurers that reported third-quarter earnings this week delivered strong underwriting results, but for XL Capital, the good news was overshadowed by investment woes.
Third-quarter income for XL was $328 million, or $1.82 per ordinary share, compared with net income of $415.8 million, or $2.32 per ordinary share, for the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2006.
Net realized losses on investments of $160.2 million brought down the bottom-line figure for this year's third quarter, while in third-quarter 2006, XL only recorded $52 million in realized losses.
