Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for

measurements of potential losses in the fair value of our investment portfolio, our expectations regarding pricing and other market conditions
and valuations of the potential impact of movements in interest rates, equity prices, credit spreads and foreign currency rates.
Forward-looking statements only reflect our expectations and are not guarantees of performance. Accordingly, there are or will be important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements. We believe that these factors include, but

the loss of one or more key executives,
a decline in our ratings with rating agencies,
loss of business provided to us by our major brokers,
changes in accounting policies or practices,
changes in governmental regulations,
increased competition,
changes in the political environment of certain countries in which we operate or underwrite business, and
fluctuations in interest rates, credit spreads, equity prices and/or currency values.
We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise.
This report is for informational purposes only. It should be read in conjunction with the documents that we file with the Securities
