NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Travelers Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company). These financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are unaudited.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected.  Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 consolidated financial statements and notes to conform to the 2011 presentation.  The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and claims and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts

In October 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance to address diversity in practice for the accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts.  This guidance modifies the definition of acquisition costs to specify that a cost must be directly related to the successful acquisition of a new or renewal insurance contract in order to be deferred.  If application of this guidance would result in the capitalization of acquisition costs that had not previously been capitalized by a reporting entity, the entity may elect not to capitalize those costs.

The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Creditors’ Evaluation of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring

In April 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance to clarify whether a modification or restructuring of a receivable is considered a troubled debt restructuring, i.e., whether the creditor has granted a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  A modification or restructuring that is considered a troubled debt restructuring will result in the creditor having to account for the receivable as being impaired and will also result in additional disclosure of the creditors’ troubled debt restructuring activities.  The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ending September 30, 2011 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.

The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Transfers and Servicing

In April 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance related to the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity.  The updated guidance eliminates the criteria to assess whether a transferor must have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets in order to demonstrate effective control over the transferred asset.   Transferors that maintain effective control over a transferred asset are required to account for the transaction as a secured borrowing rather than a sale.  The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2012.  The updated guidance applies to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option of presenting components of comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The updated guidance requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The updated guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted.

The updated guidance will result in a change in the presentation of the Company’s financial statements but will not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Nature of Operations

The Company is organized into three reportable business segments: Business Insurance; Financial, Professional & International Insurance; and Personal Insurance.  These segments reflect the manner in which the Company’s businesses are currently managed and represent an aggregation of products and services based on type of customer, how the business is marketed and the manner in which risks are underwritten.  The specific business segments are as follows:

Business Insurance

The Business Insurance segment offers a broad array of property and casualty insurance and insurance-related services to its clients primarily in the United States. Business Insurance is organized into the following six groups, which collectively comprise Business Insurance Core operations: Select Accounts; Commercial Accounts; National Accounts; Industry-Focused Underwriting; Target Risk Underwriting; and Specialized Distribution.

Business Insurance also includes the Special Liability Group (which manages the Company’s asbestos and environmental liabilities) and the assumed reinsurance and certain international and other runoff operations, which collectively are referred to as Business Insurance Other.

Financial, Professional & International Insurance

The Financial, Professional & International Insurance segment includes surety and financial liability coverages, which primarily use credit-based underwriting processes, as well as property and casualty products that are primarily marketed on a domestic basis in the United Kingdom, Canada and the Republic of Ireland, and on an international basis through Lloyd’s.  The segment includes Bond & Financial Products as well as International.

On June 17, 2011, the Company acquired 43% of the common stock of J. Malucelli Participações em Seguros e Resseguros S.A, a Brazilian company (“JMalucelli”).  JMalucelli is currently the market leader in surety in Brazil based on market share.  The Company’s investment in JMalucelli will be accounted for using the equity method and is included in “other investments” on the consolidated balance sheet.

Personal Insurance

The Personal Insurance segment writes virtually all types of property and casualty insurance covering personal risks. The primary coverages in Personal Insurance are automobile and homeowners insurance sold to individuals.

4.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance.  The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation, gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets, and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available.  The disclosure of fair value estimates in the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable.  In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions.  The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is reported is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety.  The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

·Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

·Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.

·Level 3 - Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable.  The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.

Valuation of Investments Reported at Fair Value in Financial Statements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the estimated amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between knowledgeable, unrelated, willing parties, i.e., not in a forced transaction.  The estimated fair value of a financial instrument may differ from the amount that could be realized if the security was sold in an immediate sale, e.g., a forced transaction.  Additionally, the valuation of fixed maturity investments is more subjective when markets are less liquid due to the lack of market based inputs, which may increase the potential that the estimated fair value of an investment is not reflective of the price at which an actual transaction would occur.

For investments that have quoted market prices in active markets, the Company uses the unadjusted quoted market prices as fair value and includes these prices in the amounts disclosed in Level 1 of the hierarchy.  The Company receives the quoted market prices from a third party, nationally recognized pricing service (pricing service).  When quoted market prices are unavailable, the Company utilizes a pricing service to determine an estimate of fair value, which is mainly used for its fixed maturity investments.  The fair value estimates provided from this pricing service are included in the amount disclosed in Level 2 of the hierarchy.  If quoted market prices and an estimate from a pricing service are unavailable, the Company produces an estimate of fair value based on internally developed valuation techniques, which, depending on the level of observable market inputs, will render the fair value estimate as Level 2 or Level 3.  The Company bases all of its estimates of fair value for assets on the bid price as it represents what a third-party market participant would be willing to pay in an arm’s length transaction.

Fixed Maturities

The Company utilizes a pricing service to estimate fair value measurements for approximately 99% of its fixed maturities.  The pricing service utilizes market quotations for fixed maturity securities that have quoted prices in active markets.  Since fixed maturities other than U.S. Treasury securities generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service prepares estimates of fair value measurements for these securities using its proprietary pricing applications, which include available relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing.  Additionally, the pricing service uses an Option Adjusted Spread model to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios.

4.     FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, Continued

The pricing service evaluates each asset class based on relevant market information, relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news.  The market inputs utilized in the pricing evaluation, listed in the approximate order of priority, include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and industry and economic events.  The extent of the use of each market input depends on the asset class and the market conditions.  Depending on the security, the priority of the use of inputs may change or some market inputs may not be relevant.  For some securities, additional inputs may be necessary.

The pricing service utilized by the Company has indicated that they will only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information to produce a valuation.  If the pricing service discontinues pricing an investment, the Company would be required to produce an estimate of fair value using some of the same methodologies as the pricing service but would have to make assumptions for market-based inputs that are unavailable due to market conditions.

The fair value estimates of most fixed maturity investments are based on observable market information rather than market quotes.  Accordingly, the estimates of fair value for such fixed maturities, other than U.S. Treasury securities, provided by the pricing service are included in the amount disclosed in Level 2 of the hierarchy.  The estimated fair value of U.S. Treasury securities is included in the amount disclosed in Level 1 as the estimates are based on unadjusted market prices.

The Company holds privately placed corporate bonds and estimates the fair value of these bonds using an internal matrix that is based on market information regarding interest rates, credit spreads and liquidity.  The underlying source data for calculating the matrix of credit spreads relative to the U.S. Treasury curve are the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Index and the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield BB Rated Index.  The Company includes the fair value estimates of these corporate bonds in Level 2, since all significant inputs are market observable.

While the vast majority of the Company’s municipal bonds are included in Level 2, the Company holds a small number of municipal bonds which are not valued by the pricing service and estimates the fair value of these bonds using an internal pricing matrix with some unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation.  Due to the limited amount of observable market information, the Company includes the fair value estimates for these particular bonds in Level 3.  Additionally, the Company holds a small amount of fixed maturities that have characteristics that make them unsuitable for matrix pricing.  For these fixed maturities, the Company obtains a quote from a broker (typically a market maker).  Due to the disclaimers on the quotes that indicate that the price is indicative only, the Company includes these fair value estimates in Level 3.

Equities — Public Common and Preferred

For public common and preferred stocks, the Company receives prices from a nationally recognized pricing service that are based on observable market transactions and includes these estimates in the amount disclosed in Level 1.  Infrequently, current market quotes in active markets are unavailable for certain non-redeemable preferred stocks held by the Company.  In these instances, the Company receives an estimate of fair value from the pricing service that provides fair value estimates for the Company’s fixed maturities. The service utilizes some of the same methodologies to price the non-redeemable preferred stocks as it does for the fixed maturities. The Company includes the fair value estimate for these non-redeemable preferred stocks in the amount disclosed in Level 2.

Other Investments

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company held investments in non-public common and preferred equity securities, with fair value estimates of $71 million and $57 million, respectively, reported in other investments, where the fair value estimate is determined either internally or by an external fund manager based on recent filings, operating results, balance sheet stability, growth and other business and market sector fundamentals.  Due to the significant unobservable inputs in these valuations, the Company includes the total fair value estimate for all of these investments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 in the amount disclosed in Level 3. The Company holds investments in various publicly-traded securities which are reported in other investments.  The $43 million and $42 million fair value of these investments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, was disclosed in Level 1.  These investments include securities in the Company’s trading portfolio, mutual funds and other small holdings.

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, At Fair Value

The Company uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The Company’s insurance contracts are excluded from fair value of financial instruments accounting guidance and, therefore, are not included in the amounts discussed below.

The carrying values of cash, short-term securities and investment income accrued approximated their fair values.

The carrying values of $534 million and $647 million of financial instruments classified as other assets approximated their fair values at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The carrying values of $3.71 billion and $3.75 billion of financial instruments classified as other liabilities at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, also approximated their fair values. Fair value is determined using various methods including discounted cash flows, as appropriate for the various financial instruments.

The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt at June 30, 2011 was $6.60 billion and $7.15 billion, respectively. The respective totals at December 31, 2010 were $6.61 billion and $7.21 billion.  The Company utilized a pricing service to estimate fair value measurements for approximately 96% and 94% of its debt, other than commercial paper, at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The pricing service utilizes market quotations for debt that have quoted prices in active markets.  For the small amount of the Company’s debt securities for which a pricing service is not used, the Company utilizes pricing estimates from a nationally recognized broker/dealer to estimate fair value.  If estimates of fair value are unavailable from the pricing service or the broker/dealer, the Company produces an estimate of fair value based on internally developed valuation techniques which are based on a discounted cash flow methodology and incorporates all available relevant observable market inputs.

The fair value of commercial paper included in debt outstanding at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 approximated its book value because of its short-term nature.

6.             SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Authorization.  The Company’s board of directors has approved common share repurchase authorizations under which repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in private transactions or otherwise.  The authorizations do not have a stated expiration date.  The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, catastrophe losses, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions), market conditions and other factors.  During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 3.9 million and 22.8 million shares, respectively, under its share repurchase authorization, for a total cost of approximately $237 million and $1.34 billion, respectively.  The average cost per share repurchased was $60.27 and $58.58, respectively.  At June 30, 2011, the Company had $5.17 billion of capacity remaining under the share repurchase authorization.

Conversion of Preferred Stock to Common Stock.  In May 2011, the Company’s board of directors authorized the redemption of the Company’s preferred stock held by The Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan (the Savings Plan) and gave notice of that redemption to the appropriate fiduciaries of the Savings Plan.  Following a fiduciary review, the Savings Plan exercised its right to convert each preferred share into eight shares of the Company’s common stock.  As a result, all preferred shares outstanding on June 7, 2011 (190,083 shares) were converted into a total of 1.52 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

Changes In Equity From Nonowner Sources.  The Company’s total changes in equity from nonowner sources were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions, after-tax)	2011			2010			2011		2010

Net loss per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 excluded the allocation of $4.6 million of undistributed loss to participating share-based awards, since such allocation would result in anti-dilution of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  In addition, the net loss per diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 excluded the weighted average effects of 4.6 million stock options and performance shares, and convertible preferred stock convertible into 1.2 million common shares.  The impact of these potential shares of common stock and their effects on income were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share on a diluted basis as their effect was anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Asbestos- and Environmental-Related Proceedings

In the ordinary course of its insurance business, the Company receives claims for insurance arising under policies issued by the Company asserting alleged injuries and damages from asbestos- and environmental-related exposures that are the subject of related coverage litigation, including, among others, the litigation described below.  The Company is defending asbestos- and environmental-related litigation vigorously and believes that it has meritorious defenses; however, the outcomes of these disputes are uncertain.  In this regard, the Company employs dedicated specialists and aggressive resolution strategies to manage asbestos and environmental loss exposure, including settling litigation under appropriate circumstances.

Asbestos Direct Action Litigation — In October 2001 and April 2002, two purported class action suits (Wise v. Travelers and Meninger v. Travelers) were filed against Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (TPC) and other insurers (not including The St. Paul Companies, Inc. (SPC)) in state court in West Virginia. These and other cases subsequently filed in West Virginia were consolidated into a single proceeding in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia. The plaintiffs allege that the insurer defendants engaged in unfair trade practices in violation of state statutes by inappropriately handling and settling asbestos claims. The plaintiffs seek to reopen large numbers of settled asbestos claims and to impose liability for damages, including punitive damages, directly on insurers.  Similar lawsuits alleging inappropriate handling and settling of asbestos claims were filed in Massachusetts and Hawaii state courts.  These suits are collectively referred to as the Statutory and Hawaii Actions.

In March 2002, the plaintiffs in consolidated asbestos actions pending before a mass tort panel of judges in West Virginia state court amended their complaint to include TPC as a defendant, alleging that TPC and other insurers breached alleged duties to certain users of asbestos products.  The plaintiffs seek damages, including punitive damages. Lawsuits seeking similar relief and raising similar allegations, primarily violations of purported common law duties to third parties, have also been asserted in various state courts against TPC and SPC. The claims asserted in these suits are collectively referred to as the Common Law Claims.

The federal bankruptcy court that had presided over the bankruptcy of TPC’s former policyholder Johns-Manville Corporation issued a temporary injunction prohibiting the prosecution of the Statutory Actions (but not the Hawaii Actions), the Common Law Claims and an additional set of cases filed in various state courts in Texas and Ohio, and enjoining certain attorneys from filing any further lawsuits against TPC based on similar allegations. Notwithstanding the injunction, additional common law claims were filed against TPC.

In November 2003, the parties reached a settlement of the Statutory and Hawaii Actions.  This settlement includes a lump-sum payment of up to $412 million by TPC, subject to a number of significant contingencies. In May 2004, the parties reached a settlement resolving substantially all pending and similar future Common Law Claims against TPC.  This settlement requires a payment of up to $90 million by TPC, subject to a number of significant contingencies.  Among the contingencies for each of these settlements is a final order of the bankruptcy court clarifying that all of these claims, and similar future asbestos-related claims against TPC, are barred by prior orders entered by the bankruptcy court (“the 1986 Orders”).

On August 17, 2004, the bankruptcy court entered an order approving the settlements and clarifying that the 1986 Orders barred the pending Statutory and Hawaii Actions and substantially all Common Law Claims pending against TPC (“the Clarifying Order”). The Clarifying Order also applies to similar direct action claims that may be filed in the future.

On March 29, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York substantially affirmed the Clarifying Order while vacating that portion of the order that required all future direct actions against TPC to first be approved by the bankruptcy court before proceeding in state or federal court.

Various parties appealed the district court’s March 29, 2006 ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.  On February 15, 2008, the Second Circuit issued an opinion vacating on jurisdictional grounds the District Court’s approval of the Clarifying Order.  On February 29, 2008, TPC and certain other parties to the appeals filed petitions for rehearing and/or rehearing en banc, requesting reinstatement of the district court’s judgment, which were denied.  TPC and certain other parties filed Petitions for Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Second Circuit’s decision, and on December 12, 2008, the Petitions were granted.

On June 18, 2009, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of TPC, reversing the Second Circuit’s February 15, 2008 decision, finding, among other things, that the 1986 Orders are final and generally bar the Statutory and Hawaii actions and substantially all Common Law Claims against TPC.  Further, the Supreme Court ruled that the bankruptcy court had jurisdiction to issue the Clarifying Order.  However, since the Second Circuit had not ruled on certain additional issues, principally related to procedural matters and the adequacy of notice provided to certain parties, the Supreme Court remanded the case to the Second Circuit for further proceedings on those specific issues.  On October 21, 2009, all but one of the objectors to the Clarifying Order requested that the Second Circuit dismiss their appeal of the order approving the settlement, and that request was granted.

On March 22, 2010, the Second Circuit issued an opinion in which it found that the notice of the 1986 Orders provided to the remaining objector was insufficient to bar contribution claims by that objector against TPC. On April 5, 2010, TPC filed a Petition for Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc with the Second Circuit, requesting further review of its March 22, 2010 opinion, which was denied on May 25, 2010.  On August 18, 2010, TPC filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Second Circuit’s March 22, 2010 opinion, and a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus seeking an order from the Supreme Court requiring the Second Circuit to comply with the Supreme Court’s June 18, 2009 ruling in TPC’s favor. The Supreme Court denied the Petitions on November 29, 2010.

The plaintiffs in the Statutory and Hawaii actions and the Common Law Claims actions filed Motions to Compel with the bankruptcy court on September 2, 2010 and September 3, 2010, respectively, arguing that all conditions precedent to the settlements have been met and seeking to require TPC to pay the settlement amounts.  On September 30, 2010, TPC filed an Opposition to the plaintiffs’ Motions to Compel on the grounds that the conditions precedent to the settlements, principally the requirement that all contribution claims be barred, have not been met in light of the Second Circuit’s March 22, 2010 opinion.  On December 16, 2010, the bankruptcy court granted the plaintiffs’ motions and ruled that TPC was required to fund the settlements.  On January 20, 2011, the bankruptcy court entered judgment in accordance with its December 16, 2010 ruling and ordered TPC to pay the settlement amounts plus prejudgment interest. On January 21, 2011, TPC filed an appeal with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York from the bankruptcy court’s January 20, 2011 judgment.  On January 24, 2011, certain of the plaintiffs in the Common Law Claims actions appealed that portion of the bankruptcy court’s January 20, 2011 judgment that denied their request for an order of contempt and for sanctions.  The appeals are pending.

SPC, which is not covered by the Manville bankruptcy court rulings or the settlements described above, is a party to pending direct action cases in Texas state court asserting common law claims.  All such cases that are still pending and in which SPC has been served are currently on the inactive docket in Texas state court.  If any of those cases becomes active, SPC intends to litigate those cases vigorously.  SPC was previously a defendant in similar direct actions in Ohio state court. Those actions have all been dismissed following favorable rulings by Ohio trial and appellate courts.  From time to time, SPC and/or its subsidiaries have been named in individual direct actions in other jurisdictions.

Outcome and Impact of Asbestos and Environmental Claims and Litigation.  Currently, it is not possible to predict legal outcomes and their impact on the future development of claims and litigation relating to asbestos and environmental claims. Any such development will be affected by future court decisions and interpretations, as well as changes in applicable legislation. Because of these uncertainties, additional liabilities may arise for amounts in excess of the current related reserves. In addition, the Company’s estimate of ultimate claims and claim adjustment expenses may change. These additional liabilities or increases in estimates, or a range of either, cannot now be reasonably estimated and could result in income statement charges that could be material to the Company’s results of operations in future periods.

Other Proceedings Not Arising Under Insurance Contracts or Reinsurance Agreements

Broker Anti-Trust Litigation — In 2005, four putative class action lawsuits were brought against a number of insurance brokers and insurers, including the Company, by plaintiffs who allegedly purchased insurance products through one or more of the defendant brokers.  The plaintiffs alleged that various insurance brokers conspired with each other and with various insurers, including the Company, to artificially inflate premiums, allocate brokerage customers and rig bids for insurance products offered to those customers. To the extent they were not originally filed there, the federal class actions were transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings with other class actions under the caption In re Insurance Brokerage Antitrust Litigation. On August 1, 2005, various plaintiffs, including the four named plaintiffs in the above-referenced class actions, filed an amended consolidated class action complaint naming various brokers and insurers, including the Company, on behalf of a putative nationwide class of policyholders. The complaint included causes of action under the Sherman Act, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), state common law and the laws of the various states prohibiting antitrust violations. The complaint sought monetary damages, including punitive damages and trebled damages, permanent injunctive relief, restitution, including disgorgement of profits, interest and costs, including attorneys’ fees.  All defendants moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim.  After giving plaintiffs multiple opportunities to replead, the court dismissed the Sherman Act claims on August 31, 2007 and the RICO claims on September 28, 2007, both with prejudice, and declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims. The plaintiffs appealed the district court’s decisions to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. On August 16, 2010, the Third Circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal of all Sherman Act and RICO claims against certain defendants, including the Company, except for Sherman Act and RICO claims involving the sale of excess casualty insurance through a single defendant broker, as well as all state law claims, which they remanded to the district court for further proceedings. On October 1, 2010, defendants, including the Company, filed renewed motions to dismiss the remanded claims.  On March 18, 2011, the Company and certain other defendants entered into an agreement with the plaintiffs to settle the lawsuit. The settlement, under which the Company agreed to pay $6.75 million, is subject to court approval.  Preliminary approval of the settlement was granted on June 27, 2011, and a final fairness hearing is scheduled for September 14, 2011.

Other — In addition to those described above, the Company is involved in other lawsuits, including lawsuits alleging extra-contractual damages relating to insurance contracts or reinsurance agreements, that do not arise under insurance contracts or reinsurance agreements.  Based upon currently available information, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that any such lawsuit or related lawsuits would be material to the Company’s results of operations or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity.

Gain Contingency

On August 20, 2010, in a reinsurance dispute in New York state court captioned United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company v. American Re-Insurance Company, et al., the trial court granted summary judgment for the Company, and on October 25, 2010, entered judgment awarding the Company $251 million plus pre-judgment interest in the amount of $169 million.  United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company is a subsidiary of the Company.  The $251 million awarded by the court represents the amount owed to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements and is reported as part of reinsurance recoverables in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The interest awarded by the Court is treated for

accounting purposes as a gain contingency in accordance with FASB Topic 450, Contingencies, and accordingly has not been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Post-judgment interest continues to accrue at the rate of 9 percent (without compounding) on the total judgment of $420 million.  The judgment, including the award of interest, was appealed to the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, and oral argument occurred on May 10, 2011. The parties await a ruling from the Appellate Division.

Commitments

Investment Commitments — The Company has unfunded commitments to private equity limited partnerships and real estate partnerships in which it invests.  These commitments totaled $1.24 billion and $1.26 billion at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Guarantees

The Company has contingent obligations for guarantees related to letters of credit, issuance of debt securities, certain investments, third-party loans related to certain investments, certain insurance policy obligations of former insurance subsidiaries, and various indemnifications, including those related to the sale of business entities.  The Company also provides standard indemnifications to service providers in the normal course of business.  The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms.  Certain of these guarantees and indemnifications have no stated or notional amounts or limitation to the maximum potential future payments, and, accordingly, the Company is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential payments for such arrangements.  At June 30, 2011, the maximum amount of the Company’s obligation for guarantees of certain investments and third-party loans related to certain investments that are quantifiable was $84 million, approximately $40 million of which is indemnified by a third party.  The maximum amount of the Company’s obligation related to the guarantee of certain insurance policy obligations of a former insurance subsidiary was $480 million, all of which is indemnified by a third party.

In the ordinary course of selling business entities to third parties, the Company has agreed to indemnify purchasers for losses arising out of breaches of representations and warranties with respect to the business entities being sold, covenants and obligations of the Company and/or its subsidiaries following the closing, and in certain cases obligations arising from undisclosed liabilities, adverse reserve development, imposition of additional taxes due to either a change in the tax law or an adverse interpretation of the tax law, or certain named litigation.  Such indemnification provisions generally survive for periods ranging from two years following the applicable closing date to the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations, although, in some cases, there may be other agreed upon term limitations or no term limitations.  Certain of these contingent obligations are subject to deductibles which have to be incurred by the obligee before the Company is obligated to make payments.  The maximum amount of the Company’s contingent obligation for indemnifications related to the sale of business entities that are quantifiable was $1.35 billion at June 30, 2011, of which $10 million was recognized on the balance sheet at that date.

11.CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE TRAVELERS COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

The following consolidating financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. These consolidating financial statements have been prepared from the Company’s financial information on the same basis of accounting as the consolidated financial statements. The Travelers Companies, Inc. has fully and unconditionally guaranteed certain debt obligations of TPC, its wholly-owned subsidiary, which totaled $1.20 billion at June 30, 2011.

Prior to the merger of TPC and SPC in 2004, TPC fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of all principal, premiums, if any, and interest on certain debt obligations of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Travelers Insurance Group Holdings, Inc. (TIGHI). The Travelers Companies, Inc. has fully and unconditionally guaranteed such guarantee obligations of TPC. TPC is deemed to have no assets or operations independent of TIGHI.  Consolidating financial information for TIGHI has not been presented herein because such financial information would be substantially the same as the financial information provided for TPC.

The Company’s discussions of net income (loss) and segment operating income (loss) included in the following discussion are presented on an after-tax basis.  Discussions of the components of net income (loss) and segment operating income (loss) are presented on a pretax basis, unless otherwise noted.  Discussions of net income (loss) per common share are presented on a diluted basis.

Overview

Diluted net loss per share in the second quarter of 2011 was ($0.88), compared with diluted net income per share of $1.35 in the same period of 2010.  The net loss in the second quarter of 2011 was ($364) million, compared with net income of $670 million in the same period of 2010.  The net loss in the second quarter of 2011 primarily reflected the impact of a significant increase in catastrophe losses, lower net favorable prior year reserve development, and modest declines in underwriting margins excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (“underlying underwriting margins”), partially offset by net realized investment gains (compared with net realized investment losses in the second quarter of 2010). The decline in underlying underwriting margins reflected increases in losses excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development (“underlying losses”) that modestly outpaced earned rate increases in the

39

Business Insurance segment (including the unfavorable re-estimation of certain first quarter 2011 losses), increases in non-catastrophe weather-related losses (some of which related to first quarter 2011 storms) and fire-related losses in the Personal Insurance segment and increases in general and administrative expenses in each business segment.

Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2011 were the result of unusually frequent and severe tornadoes and hail storms that caused extensive damage in several major urban areas, primarily in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States, the largest of which occurred in the last week of April and impacted 13 states.

In the first six months of 2011, diluted net income per share of $1.10 decreased by 58% from the same period of 2010, whereas net income of $475 million decreased by 64% from the same period of 2010.  The lower rate of decrease in diluted net income per share reflected the impact of common share repurchases over the previous twelve months.  The decrease in net income primarily reflected the impact of a significant increase in catastrophe losses, lower net favorable prior year reserve development and modest declines in underlying underwriting margins as described above.  These decreases were partially offset by net realized investment gains in the first six months of 2011 (compared with net realized investment losses in the same period of 2010) and a modest increase in net investment income.  Net income in the first six months of 2011 reflected a $104 million benefit resulting from the favorable resolution of various prior year tax matters recorded in the first quarter of 2011.

Revenues

Earned Premiums

Earned premiums in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $5.50 billion, an increase of $163 million, or 3%, over the same period of 2010.  Through the first six months of 2011, earned premiums totaled $10.87 billion, an increase of $304 million, or 3%, over the same period of 2010.  In the Business Insurance segment, earned premiums in each of the second quarter and first six months of 2011 increased by 5% over the same periods of 2010.  In the Financial, Professional & International Insurance segment, earned premiums in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 decreased by 5% and 6%, respectively, from the same 2010 periods.  In the Personal Insurance segment, earned premiums in each of the second quarter and first six months of 2011 increased by 4% over the same periods of 2010.  Factors contributing to the changes in earned premiums in each segment are discussed in more detail in the segment discussions that follow.

Net Investment Income

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s investments.

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in millions)	2011			2010			2011			2010
Average investments (a)	$	70,476		$	71,294		$	70,659		$	71,987
Pretax net investment income	758			762			1,537			1,515
After-tax net investment income	606			617			1,228			1,227
Average pretax yield (b)	4.3		%	4.3		%	4.4		%	4.2		%
Average after-tax yield (b)	3.4		%	3.5		%	3.5		%	3.4		%

(a)Excludes net unrealized investment gains and losses, net of tax, and reflects cash, receivables for investment sales, payables on investment purchases and accrued investment income.

(b)Excludes net realized investment gains and losses and net unrealized investment gains and losses, net of tax.

Net investment income of $758 million in the second quarter of 2011 was $4 million, or 1%, lower than in the same period of 2010.  Net investment income from fixed maturity investments in the second quarter of 2011 of $634 million declined by $44 million compared with the same period of 2010, primarily resulting from lower average levels of long-term fixed maturity invested assets due to the Company’s common share repurchases, as well as lower long-term reinvestment yields available in the market. Net investment income generated by non-fixed maturity investments in the second quarter of 2011 of $129 million was $40 million higher than in the same period of 2010, primarily due to improved investment market conditions.  In the first six months of 2011, net investment income of $1.54 billion was $22 million, or 1%, higher than in the same period of 2010, despite lower average investments.  Net investment income generated by non-fixed maturity investments in the first six months of 2011 of $269 million was $114 million higher than in the same period of 2010, due to improved investment market conditions.  Net investment income from fixed maturity investments in the first six months of 2011 of $1.28 billion declined $93 million compared with the same period of 2010, primarily reflecting the same factors discussed above.

40

Fee Income

The National Accounts market in the Business Insurance segment is the primary source of the Company’s fee-based business.  The $2 million and $7 million decreases in fee income in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2010 are described in the Business Insurance segment discussion that follows.

Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses)

Other Revenues

Other revenues in the second quarter and first six months of both 2011 and 2010 primarily consisted of premium installment charges.

Claims and Expenses

Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses

Claims and claim adjustment expenses of $5.14 billion in the second quarter of 2011 were $1.72 billion, or 50%, higher than in the same period of 2010, primarily reflecting the significant increase in catastrophe losses, a decrease in net favorable prior year reserve development and the impact of increased underlying losses.  The increase in underlying losses included the unfavorable re-estimation of certain first quarter 2011 losses in the Business Insurance segment, as well as increases in non-catastrophe weather-related losses (some of which related to first quarter 2011 storms) and fire-related losses in the Personal Insurance segment.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 totaled $1.67 billion and $439 million, respectively.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2011 were the result of multiple tornadoes and hail storms, primarily in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States, the largest of which occurred in the last week of April and impacted 13 states.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2010 primarily resulted from numerous wind and hail storms throughout the United States.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 totaled $168 million and $384 million, respectively.

In the first six months of 2011, claims and claim adjustment expenses totaled $8.52 billion, an increase of $1.72 billion, or 25%, over the total in the same period of 2010, primarily reflecting the same factors described above.  Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 totaled $1.85 billion and $910 million, respectively.  Catastrophe losses in the first six months of both 2011 and 2010 primarily resulted from numerous tornadoes and hail storms in the second quarter of each year, as well as wind and hail storms and severe winter storms throughout the United States in the first quarter of each year.  The 2010 year-to-date total also included losses from an earthquake in Chile.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 totaled $405 million and $678 million, respectively.

41

The Company’s three business segments each experienced net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter and first six months of both 2011 and 2010.  Factors contributing to net favorable prior year reserve development in each segment during these periods are discussed in more detail in the segment discussions that follow.

Amortization of Deferred Acquisition Costs

The amortization of deferred acquisition costs totaled $970 million in the second quarter of 2011, 2% higher than in the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, the amortization of deferred acquisition costs totaled $1.92 billion, 2% higher than in the same 2010 period.  The increases in both periods of 2011 were consistent with the increases in earned premiums.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses totaled $907 million in the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $75 million, or 9%, over the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, general and administrative expenses totaled $1.79 billion, an increase of $111 million, or 7%, over the same 2010 period.  The increases in both periods of 2011 were primarily due to a higher level of state assessment expenses in the Business Insurance segment, increases in employee- and technology-related costs to enhance operations and support future business growth in the Financial, Professional & International Insurance segment, and advertising and other costs associated with the Company’s direct to consumer initiative in the Personal Insurance segment.

Interest Expense

Interest expense of $97 million in the second quarter of 2011 was level with the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, interest expense of $193 million was $2 million lower than in the same period of 2010.

Income Taxes.  The Company’s income tax benefits of $363 million in the second quarter of 2011 and $233 million in the first six months of 2011 primarily reflected the pretax net loss in the second quarter of 2011, as well as the impact of tax-exempt investment income on the calculation of the Company’s tax provision in both periods.  In addition, the year-to-date income tax benefit in 2011 included the $104 million benefit resulting from the favorable resolution of various prior year tax matters recorded in the first quarter of 2011.

GAAP Combined Ratio

The consolidated GAAP combined ratio of 125.0% in the second quarter of 2011 was 29.8 points higher than the consolidated GAAP combined ratio of 95.2% in the same period of 2010.  The GAAP combined ratio of 110.1% in the first six months of 2011 was 14.3 points higher than the GAAP combined ratio of 95.8% in the same period of 2010.

The consolidated loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 92.6% in the second quarter of 2011 was 29.3 points higher than in the same period of 2010.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 accounted for 30.3 points and 8.2 points, respectively, of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 provided 3.1 point and 7.2 point benefits, respectively, to the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  The 2011 second quarter loss and loss adjustment expense ratio excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development was 3.1 points higher than the 2010 ratio on the same basis, primarily reflecting the impact of reduced underlying underwriting margins as described above.

The consolidated loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 77.6% in the first six months of 2011 was 14.0 points higher than in the same period of 2010.  Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 accounted for 17.1 points and 8.6 points, respectively, of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 provided 3.7 point and 6.4 point benefits, respectively, to the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  The 2011 loss and loss adjustment expense ratio in the first six months of 2011 excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development was 2.8 points higher than the 2010 ratio on the same basis, primarily reflecting the same factors discussed above.

The consolidated underwriting expense ratio of 32.4% for the second quarter of 2011 was 0.5 points higher than the second quarter 2010 underwriting expense ratio of 31.9%.  In the first six months of 2011, the underwriting expense ratio of 32.5% was 0.3 points higher than the underwriting expense ratio of 32.2% in the same 2010 period.  The increase in both periods of 2011 primarily reflected the increase in general and administrative expenses discussed in the segment discussions that follow.

Overview

Operating income of $11 million in the second quarter of 2011 was $556 million, or 98%, lower than operating income of $567 million in the same period of 2010.  The decline was driven by a significant increase in catastrophe losses, a reduction in net favorable prior year reserve development and reduced underlying underwriting margins that reflected increases in underlying losses that modestly outpaced earned rate increases (including the unfavorable re-estimation of certain first quarter 2011 losses).  Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $697 million, compared with $179 million in the same period of 2010.  Net favorable prior year reserve development totaled $27 million in the second quarter of 2011, compared with $303 million in the same 2010 period.

In the first six months of 2011, operating income of $615 million was $519 million, or 46%, lower than operating income of $1.13 billion in the same period of 2010, primarily reflecting the same factors described above, partially offset by a $76 million benefit resulting from the favorable resolution of various prior year tax matters.  Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 totaled $809 million, compared with $314 million in the same period of 2010.  Net favorable prior year reserve development totaled $170 million in the first six months of 2011, compared with $545 million in the same 2010 period.

Earned Premiums

Earned premiums of $2.80 billion in the second quarter of 2011 increased by $139 million, or 5%, over the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, earned premiums of $5.55 billion increased by $256 million, or 5%, over the same period of 2010.  The increases in both periods of 2011 primarily reflected the impact of an increase in net written premiums over the preceding twelve months.  Earned premiums also benefited from positive audit premium adjustments related to increased insured exposures for existing policyholders, compared with negative audit premium adjustments in the same periods of 2010 related to decreased insured exposures for existing policyholders.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income of $541 million in the second quarter of 2011 increased by $4 million, or 1%, over the same 2010 period.  In the first six months of 2011, net investment income of $1.10 billion increased by $32 million, or 3%, over the same period of 2010.  Refer to the “Net Investment Income” section of the “Consolidated Results of Operations” discussion herein for a description of the factors contributing to the changes in the Company’s consolidated net investment income in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 compared with the same periods of 2010.  In addition, refer to note 2 of notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a discussion of the Company’s net investment income allocation methodology.

Fee Income

National Accounts is the primary source of fee income due to its service businesses, which include claim and loss prevention services to large companies that choose to self-insure a portion of their insurance risks, as well as claims and policy management services to workers’ compensation residual market pools.  Fee income in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 decreased by $2 million and $7 million from the respective periods of 2010.

Claims and Expenses

Claim and Claims Adjustment Expenses

Claims and claim adjustment expenses of $2.58 billion in the second quarter of 2011 were $958 million, or 59%, higher than in the same period of 2010, primarily reflecting a significant increase in catastrophe losses, a decline in net favorable prior year reserve development as well as the impact of an increase in underlying losses that included the unfavorable re-estimation of certain first quarter 2011 losses.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $697 million, compared with $179 million in the same period of 2010. Catastrophe losses in the second quarters of both 2011 and 2010 resulted from severe wind and hail storms throughout the United States.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $27 million, compared with $303 million in the respective period of 2010.   The net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2011 was driven by better than expected loss development in the general liability product line, which was concentrated in excess coverages for accident years 2008 and prior and reflected what the Company believes are favorable legal and judicial environments, partially offset by a $76 million increase to environmental reserves, which is discussed in further detail in the “Environmental Claims and Litigation” section herein.

44

Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2010 was driven by better than expected loss results in the property, workers’ compensation and commercial automobile product lines for recent accident years.  In addition, better than expected loss results in this segment in recent years resulted in a favorable re-estimation of reserves for unallocated loss adjustment expenses in the second quarter of 2010.  The property product line improvement primarily occurred in the 2009 accident year as a result of better than expected claim emergence trends in the Industry-Focused Underwriting and Target Risk Underwriting groups.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the workers’ compensation product line was concentrated in the 2006-2009 accident years and resulted from lower than expected claim frequency for the 2009 accident year and better than expected loss emergence for the prior periods.  The Company believes that the improvement in the commercial automobile product line, which occurred primarily in the 2009 accident year, resulted from the economic downturn causing fewer vehicles to be on the road and driving fewer miles, leading to lower than expected frequency and severity of losses.  The net favorable prior year reserve development in these product lines was partially offset by a $35 million increase to environmental reserves recorded in the second quarter of 2010, which is discussed in further detail in the “Environmental Claims and Litigation” section herein.

Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the first six months of 2011 totaled $4.35 billion, $1.15 billion, or 36%, higher than in the same 2010 period.  The increase primarily reflected the same factors discussed above.  Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 totaled $809 million, compared with $314 million in the same period of 2010.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2011 totaled $170 million, compared with $545 million in the same period of 2010.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2011 was driven by the same factors described above, as well as net favorable prior year reserve development in the property product line that reflected better than expected loss development for the 2010 accident year in the Inland Marine business unit in Target Risk Underwriting.

Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2010 was driven by the same factors described above for the second quarter of 2010.

Amortization of Deferred Acquisition Costs

The amortization of deferred acquisition costs totaled $457 million in the second quarter of 2011, 4% higher than in the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, the amortization of deferred acquisition costs totaled $901 million, also 4% higher than in the same 2010 period.  The increases in both periods of 2011 were consistent with the increases in earned premiums.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $492 million, $23 million, or 5%, higher than in the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, general and administrative expenses of $965 million were $15 million, or 2%, higher than in the same period of 2010.  The increases in both periods of 2011 were primarily driven by higher level of state assessment expenses related to workers’ compensation business in New York.

GAAP Combined Ratio

The GAAP combined ratio of 122.9% in the second quarter of 2011 was 31.1 points higher than the GAAP combined ratio of 91.8% in the same period of 2010.  The GAAP combined ratio of 109.0% in the first six months of 2011 was 17.4 points higher than the GAAP combined ratio of 91.6% in the same period of 2010.

The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 90.6% in the second quarter of 2011 was 31.1 points higher than in the same period of 2010.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 accounted for 24.9 points and 6.7 points, respectively, of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 provided 1.0 point and 11.3 point benefits, respectively, to the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio. The 2011 second quarter loss and loss adjustment expense ratio excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development was 2.6 points higher than the 2010 ratio on the same basis, reflecting the impact of reduced underlying underwriting margins as described above.

45

The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 77.0% in the first six months of 2011 was 17.9 points higher than in the same period of 2010.  Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 accounted for 14.6 points and 6.0 points, respectively, of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 provided 3.1 point and 10.3 point benefits, respectively, to the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  The 2011 loss and loss adjustment expense ratio in the first six months of 2011 excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development was 2.1 points higher than the 2010 ratio on the same basis, reflecting the same factors discussed above.

The underwriting expense ratio of 32.3% for the second quarter of 2011 was level with the second quarter 2010 underwriting expense ratio.  In the first six months of 2011, the underwriting expense ratio of 32.0% was 0.5 points lower than the underwriting expense ratio of 32.5% in the same 2010 period.  The decrease in the first six months of 2011 primarily reflected the impact of higher earned premiums.

Gross and net written premiums in the second quarter of 2011 both increased by 3% over the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, gross and net written premiums both increased by 5% over the same period of 2010.  The increases in gross and net written premiums in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were concentrated in Commercial Accounts and Select Accounts.  In addition, the Industry-Focused Underwriting group contributed to gross and net written premium growth in the first six months of 2011.  Gross and net written premiums were favorably impacted by positive audit premium adjustments in 2011 (compared with negative adjustments in 2010).  Overall business retention rates remained

strong in the second quarter of 2011 but were slightly lower than in the second quarter of 2010, while through the first six months of 2011, business retention rates were slightly higher than in the same period of 2010.  Both components of renewal premium changes - renewal rate changes and insured exposure growth - were positive in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 and improved over the same periods of 2010.  New business levels declined modestly from the second quarter and first six months of 2010.

Select Accounts.  Net written premiums of $738 million in the second quarter of 2011 increased by 3% over the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, net written premiums of $1.47 billion increased by 4% over the same period of 2010.  Business retention rates in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 increased over the respective periods of 2010.  Renewal premium changes, including both renewal rate changes and insured exposure growth, remained positive in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, but declined slightly from the same periods of 2010.  New business volume in the second quarter of 2011 declined slightly from the same period of 2010.  For the first six months of 2011, new business volume increased slightly over the same 2010 period.

Commercial Accounts.  Net written premiums of $659 million in the second quarter of 2011 increased by 13% over the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, net written premiums of $1.48 billion increased by 15% over the same period of 2010.  The increases in both periods were partially due to the benefit of positive audit premium adjustments (compared with negative adjustments in the same periods of 2010).  Business retention rates in the second quarter remained strong but were slightly lower than in the same period of 2010, while through the first six months of 2011, business retention rates increased over the same period of 2010.  Renewal premium changes, including both renewal rate changes and insured exposure growth, were positive in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 and increased over the same periods of 2010.  New business volume in both periods of 2011 also increased slightly over the respective 2010 periods.

National Accounts.  Net written premiums of $188 million in the second quarter of 2011 decreased by 3% from the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, net written premiums of $399 million decreased by 5% from the same period of 2010.  The declines in both periods of 2011 reflected lower prior year retrospective premium adjustments.  Business retention rates remained high in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, while new business volume declined compared with both periods of 2010.

Industry-Focused Underwriting.  Net written premiums of $579 million in the second quarter of 2011 decreased by 1% from the same period of 2010, as increases in Construction and Public Sector were more than offset by declines in Oil & Gas and Technology.  In the first six months of 2011, net written premiums of $1.21 billion increased by 5% over the same period of 2010, driven by growth in Construction and Technology.

Target Risk Underwriting.  Net written premiums of $468 million in the second quarter of 2011 were slightly lower than in the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, net written premiums of $881 million were level with the same period of 2010.

Specialized Distribution. Net written premiums of $246 million in the second quarter of 2011 were slightly lower than in the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, net written premiums of $455 million decreased by 2% from the same period of 2010.  The declines in both periods of 2011 were concentrated in the Northland business unit, driven by declines in business retention rates and new business volume.

Overview

Operating income of $164 million in the second quarter of 2011 was $8 million, or 5%, lower than operating income in the same 2010 period, reflecting lower net investment income.  The underwriting margin in the second quarter of 2011, which was consistent with the same period of 2010, reflected an increase in non-catastrophe weather-related losses, lower business volume, higher general and administrative expenses and an increase in catastrophe losses, largely offset by an increase in net favorable prior year reserve development and a decline in large losses.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $14 million, compared with $3 million in the same 2010 period.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $96 million, compared with $72 million in the same 2010 period.

In the first six months of 2011, operating income of $284 million was $26 million, or 10%, higher than operating income in the same 2010 period, driven by a decline in catastrophe losses, an increase in net favorable prior year reserve development and a $14 million benefit resulting from the favorable resolution of various prior year tax matters, partially offset by the impact of lower business volume, and higher general and administrative expenses.  Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 totaled $35 million, compared with $89 million in the same period of 2010.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2011 totaled $135 million, compared with $106 million in the same period of 2010.

Earned Premiums

Earned premiums of $810 million in the second quarter of 2011 decreased by $45 million, or 5%, from the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, earned premiums of $1.58 billion decreased by $96 million, or 6%, from the same period of 2010.  The declines in both periods of 2011 reflected the impact of lower net written premiums over the preceding twelve months primarily due to lower construction surety volume, and intentional underwriting actions taken and competitive market conditions in the Company’s operations at Lloyd’s, partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.  In addition, earned premiums in both periods of 2010 reflected the favorable impact of a reduction in surety reinsurance costs associated with prior year reinsurance treaties.

48

Net Investment Income

Net investment income of $105 million in the second quarter of 2011 decreased by $5 million, or 5%, from the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, net investment income of $211 million decreased by $10 million, or 5%, from the same period of 2010.  Included in the Financial, Professional & International Insurance segment are certain legal entities whose invested assets and related net investment income are reported exclusively in this segment and not allocated among all business segments.  As a result, reported net investment income in the Financial, Professional & International Insurance segment reflects a significantly smaller proportion of allocated net investment income, including that from the Company’s non-fixed maturity investments.  Refer to the “Net Investment Income” section of “Consolidated Results of Operations” herein for a discussion of the change in the Company’s consolidated net investment income in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 as compared with the same periods of 2010.  In addition, refer to note 2 of notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a discussion of the Company’s net investment income allocation methodology.

Claims and Expenses

Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses

Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $378 million, a decrease of $36 million, or 9%, from the same period of 2010, primarily driven by lower business volume, an increase in net favorable prior year reserve development and a decline in large losses, partially offset by increases in non-catastrophe weather-related losses and catastrophe losses.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $14 million, compared with $3 million in the same period of 2010.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarters of both 2011 and 2010 resulted from severe wind and hail storms throughout the United States.  Net favorable prior year reserve development totaled $96 million and $72 million in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2011 was concentrated in Bond & Financial Products and primarily reflected better than expected results for accident years 2008 and prior for the contract surety business, and for accident years 2007 and prior for the public company directors’ & officers’ line of business.  Several product lines throughout the International group’s operations also experienced net favorable prior year development for recent accident years in the second quarter of 2011. The majority of net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2010 occurred in the Bond & Financial Products group and was related to better than expected results for recent accident years for the directors’ & officers’ and errors & omissions lines of business, and favorable loss experience in the surety line of business.  Several product lines in the International group’s United Kingdom operations also experienced net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2010.

Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the first six months of 2011 totaled $811 million, a decrease of $119 million, or 13%, from the same 2010 period, primarily reflecting a decline in catastrophe losses, lower business volume and an increase in net favorable prior year reserve development.  Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 totaled $35 million, compared with $89 million in the same period of 2010.  In addition to the wind and hail storms referred to above, catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 included losses from earthquakes in Japan and Chile, respectively.  Net favorable prior year reserve development totaled $135 million and $106 million in the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively, driven by the same factors described above.

Amortization of Deferred Acquisition Expenses

The amortization of deferred acquisition costs totaled $152 million in the second quarter of 2011, 1% lower than in the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, the amortization of deferred acquisition costs totaled $299 million, 2% lower than in the same 2010 period.  The decreases in both periods of 2011 were less than the decreases in earned premiums, primarily reflecting the impact of the reduction in surety reinsurance costs associated with prior year reinsurance treaties on earned premiums in both periods of 2010.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $160 million, $12 million, or 8%, higher than in the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, general and administrative expenses of $320 million were $23 million, or 8%, higher than in the same period of 2010.  The increases in both periods of 2011 primarily reflected increases in employee- and technology-related costs in International to enhance operations and support future business growth.

49

GAAP Combined Ratio

The GAAP combined ratio of 84.8% in the second quarter of 2011 was 1.5 points higher than the GAAP combined ratio of 83.3% in the same period of 2010.  The GAAP combined ratio of 89.9% in the first six months of 2011 was 1.1 points lower than the GAAP combined ratio of 91.0% in the same period of 2010.

The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 46.2% in the second quarter of 2011 was 1.9 points lower than in the same period of 2010.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 accounted for 1.7 points and 0.4 points, respectively, of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 provided 11.7 point and 8.4 point benefits, respectively, to the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  The 2011 second quarter loss and loss adjustment expense ratio excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development was 0.1 points higher than the 2010 ratio on the same basis.

The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 50.8% in the first six months of 2011 was 4.3 points lower than in the same period of 2010.  Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 accounted for 2.2 points and 5.3 points, respectively, of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 provided 8.6 point and 6.3 point benefits, respectively, to the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  The 2011 loss and loss adjustment expense ratio in the first six months of 2011 excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development was 1.1 point higher than the 2010 ratio on the same basis, primarily reflecting the favorable impact on earned premiums in the first six months of 2010 of a reduction in surety reinsurance costs associated with prior year reinsurance treaties as discussed above.

The underwriting expense ratio of 38.6% for the second quarter of 2011 was 3.4 points higher than the second quarter 2010 underwriting expense ratio of 35.2%.  In the first six months of 2011, the underwriting expense ratio of 39.1% was 3.2 points higher than the underwriting expense ratio of 35.9% in the same 2010 period.  The increase in both periods of 2011 primarily reflected the increase in general and administrative expenses discussed above and the impact of lower business volume in International and construction surety.

Written Premiums

The Financial, Professional & International Insurance segment’s gross and net written premiums by market were as follows:

	Gross Written Premiums

Gross and net written premiums in the second quarter of 2011 both decreased by 1% from the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, gross and net written premiums decreased by 5% and 4%, respectively, from the same period of 2010.

50

Net written premiums of $533 million in Bond & Financial Products in the second quarter of 2011 were $26 million, or 5%, lower than in the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, net written premiums of $902 million were $19 million, or 2%, lower than in the same period of 2010.  The decreases in both periods of 2011 primarily reflected the impact of reductions in surety reinsurance costs in the second quarter and first six months of 2010 associated with prior year reinsurance treaties.  In addition, net written premiums in both periods of 2011 reflected lower construction surety premium volume due to the continued slowdown in construction spending and disciplined underwriting.  Excluding the surety line of business, for which the following are not relevant measures, business retention rates in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 remained strong and were higher than in the same periods of 2010.  Renewal premium changes in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 were slightly positive (compared with slightly negative in both periods of 2010), as growth in insured exposures was largely offset by negative renewal rate changes in the second quarter and first six months of 2011.  New business volume in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 increased over the same periods of 2010.

Net written premiums of $346 million in International in the second quarter of 2011 were $16 million, or 5%, higher than in the same period of 2010, primarily reflecting the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.  In the first six months of 2011, net written premiums of $601 million were $48 million, or 7%, lower than in the same period of 2010, primarily reflecting intentional underwriting actions taken at the company’s operations at Lloyd’s intended to improve risk and reward (particularly in the catastrophe-exposed lines of business) and the termination of an exclusive broker relationship in Ireland in the fourth quarter of 2010.  Excluding the surety line of business, business retention rates in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 declined from the same periods of 2010, primarily as a result of the termination of the broker relationship in Ireland.  New business volume in International in the second quarter of 2011 was level with the same period of 2010, but declined when compared with the first six months of 2010, primarily reflecting the termination of the broker relationship in Ireland and intentional underwriting actions in the Company’s operations at Lloyd’s.  Renewal premium changes in the second quarter of 2011 were slightly positive, primarily due to positive renewal rate changes which were higher than in the same period of 2010, partially offset by a lesser decline in insured exposures compared with the second quarter of 2010.  Through the first six months of 2011, renewal premium changes were negative (compared with slightly positive renewal premium changes in the same period of 2010) due to a greater decline in insured exposures compared with the same period of 2010, as renewal rate changes in the first six months of 2011 were positive and consistent with the same period of 2010.

Overview

The operating loss in the second quarter of 2011 totaled ($471) million, compared with operating income of $19 million in the same period of 2010, primarily driven by a significant increase in catastrophe losses.  The operating loss in the second quarter of 2011 also reflected higher non-catastrophe weather-related losses (some of which related to first quarter 2011 storms) and fire-related losses, and an increase in expenses related to the Company’s direct to consumer initiative.  These factors were partially offset by an increase in net favorable prior year development and an increase in business volume.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $957 million, compared with $257 million in the same 2010 period.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $45 million, compared with $9 million in the same 2010 period.

In the first six months of 2011, the operating loss totaled ($301) million, compared with operating income of $78 million in the same 2010 period, driven by the same factors described above as well as a benefit of $10 million resulting from the favorable resolution of various prior year tax matters. Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 totaled $1.01 billion, compared with $507 million in the same period of 2010.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2011 totaled $100 million, compared with $27 million in the same period of 2010.

Earned Premiums

Earned premiums of $1.89 billion in the second quarter of 2011 increased by $69 million, or 4%, over the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, earned premiums of $3.74 billion increased by $144 million, or 4%, over the same period of 2010.  The increases in both periods of 2011 reflected continued strong business retention rates, renewal price increases and growth in new business volume over the preceding twelve months.

Net Investment Income

Net investment income of $112 million in the second quarter of 2011 decreased by $3 million, or 3%, from the same 2010 period.  In the first six months of 2011, net investment income of $229 million was level with the same period of 2010.  Refer to the “Net Investment Income” section of the “Consolidated Results of Operations” discussion herein for a description of the factors contributing to the change in the Company’s consolidated net investment income in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 compared with the same periods of 2010.  In addition, refer to note 2 of notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for a discussion of the Company’s net investment income allocation methodology.

Claims and Expenses

Claims and Claim Adjustment Expenses

Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $2.18 billion, an increase of $800 million, or 58%, over the same period of 2010.  The increase in the second quarter of 2011 primarily reflected the significant increase in catastrophe losses, higher underlying losses, including increases in non-catastrophe weather-related losses (some of which related to first quarter 2011 storms) and fire-related losses, and higher business volume, partially offset by the increase in net favorable prior year reserve development.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $957 million, compared with $257 million in the same period of 2010.  The 2011 total was driven by multiple tornadoes and hail storms, primarily in the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States.  The 2010 total primarily resulted from severe wind and hail storms throughout the United States.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarter of 2011 totaled $45 million, compared with $9 million in the same period of 2010.  The 2011 total was driven by better than expected loss development related to catastrophe losses incurred in the first half of 2010, as well as favorable loss development in the 2006 — 2008 accident years for the umbrella line of business in the Homeowners and Other product line.

Claims and claim adjustment expenses in the first six months of 2011 totaled $3.36 billion, an increase of $687 million, or 26%, over the same 2010 period, reflecting the same factors described above. Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 totaled $1.01 billion and $507 million, respectively.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 totaled $100 million and $27 million, respectively, driven by the same factors described above.

52

Amortization of Deferred Acquisition Costs

The amortization of deferred acquisition costs totaled $361 million in the second quarter of 2011, 1% higher than in the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, the amortization of deferred acquisition costs totaled $718 million, 1% higher than in the same 2010 period.  The increases in both periods of 2011 were less than the increase in earned premiums, partially reflecting an increase in the number of agents reverting to a contingent commission compensation program (the costs of which are classified in “general and administrative expenses”) from a fixed-value compensation program (the costs of which are classified in “amortization of deferred acquisition costs”).

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses of $225 million in the second quarter of 2011 were $15 million, or 7%, higher than in the same period of 2010.  In the first six months of 2011, general and administrative expenses of $460 million were $43 million, or 10%, higher than in the same period of 2010.  The increases in both periods of 2011 were primarily driven by advertising and other costs associated with the Company’s direct to consumer initiative, as well as the increase in contingent commission expense due to the increase in the number of agents reverting to a contingent commission compensation program.  The cost of the contingent commission program is not subject to deferred acquisition cost accounting treatment and, therefore, is expensed as incurred.

GAAP Combined Ratio

The GAAP combined ratio of 145.5% in the second quarter of 2011 was 39.6 points higher than the GAAP combined ratio of 105.9% in the same period of 2010.  The GAAP combined ratio of 120.1% in the first six months of 2011 was 15.8 points higher than the GAAP combined ratio of 104.3% in the same period of 2010.

The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 115.6% in the second quarter of 2011 was 39.6 points higher than in the same period of 2010.  Catastrophe losses in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 accounted for 50.7 points and 14.0 points, respectively, of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the second quarters of 2011 and 2010 provided 2.4 point and 0.5 point benefits, respectively, to the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  The 2011 second quarter loss and loss adjustment expense ratio excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development was 4.8 points higher than the 2010 ratio on the same basis, primarily reflecting the impact of higher underlying losses described above.

The loss and loss adjustment expense ratio of 89.8% in the first six months of 2011 was 15.5 points higher than in the same period of 2010.  Catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 accounted for 27.0 points and 14.1 points, respectively, of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  Net favorable prior year reserve development in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 provided 2.7 point and 0.8 point benefits, respectively, to the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio.  The 2011 loss and loss adjustment expense ratio in the first six months of 2011 excluding catastrophe losses and prior year reserve development was 4.5 points higher than the 2010 ratio on the same basis, primarily reflecting the same factors discussed above.

The underwriting expense ratio of 29.9% for the second quarter of 2011 was level with the second quarter 2010 underwriting expense ratio.  In the first six months of 2011, the underwriting expense ratio of 30.3% was 0.3 points higher than the underwriting expense ratio of 30.0% in the same 2010 period.  The increase in the first six months of 2011 primarily reflected advertising and other costs associated with the Company’s direct to consumer initiative.

ASBESTOS CLAIMS AND LITIGATION

The Company believes that the property and casualty insurance industry has suffered from court decisions and other trends that have attempted to expand insurance coverage for asbestos claims far beyond the intent of insurers and policyholders. While the Company has experienced a decrease in new asbestos claims over the past several years, the Company continues to receive a significant number of asbestos claims from the Company’s policyholders (which includes others seeking coverage under a policy), including claims against the Company’s policyholders by individuals who do not appear to be impaired by asbestos exposure.  Factors underlying these claim filings include intensive advertising by lawyers seeking asbestos claimants and the focus by plaintiffs on previously peripheral defendants.  The focus on these defendants is primarily the result of the number of traditional asbestos defendants who have sought bankruptcy protection in previous years.  In addition to contributing to the overall number of claims, bankruptcy proceedings may increase the volatility of asbestos-related losses by initially delaying the reporting of claims and later by significantly accelerating and increasing loss payments by insurers, including the Company. The bankruptcy of many traditional defendants has also caused increased settlement demands against

54

those policyholders who are not in bankruptcy but that remain in the tort system. Currently, in many jurisdictions, those who allege very serious injury and who can present credible medical evidence of their injuries are receiving priority trial settings in the courts, while those who have not shown any credible disease manifestation are having their hearing dates delayed or placed on an inactive docket. This trend of prioritizing claims involving credible evidence of injuries, along with the focus on previously peripheral defendants, contributes to the claims and claim adjustment expense payments experienced by the Company.  The Company’s asbestos-related claims and claim adjustment expense experience also has been impacted by the unavailability of other insurance sources potentially available to policyholders, whether through exhaustion of policy limits or through the insolvency of other participating insurers.

The Company continues to be involved in coverage litigation concerning a number of policyholders, some of whom have filed for bankruptcy, who in some instances have asserted that all or a portion of their asbestos-related claims are not subject to aggregate limits on coverage. In these instances, policyholders also may assert that each individual bodily injury claim should be treated as a separate occurrence under the policy. It is difficult to predict whether these policyholders will be successful on both issues. To the extent both issues are resolved in a policyholder’s favor and other Company defenses are not successful, the Company’s coverage obligations under the policies at issue would be materially increased and bounded only by the applicable per-occurrence limits and the number of asbestos bodily injury claims against the policyholders.   Accordingly, although the Company has seen a moderation in the overall risk associated with these lawsuits, it remains difficult to predict the ultimate cost of these claims.

Many coverage disputes with policyholders are only resolved through settlement agreements. Because many policyholders make exaggerated demands, it is difficult to predict the outcome of settlement negotiations. Settlements involving bankrupt policyholders may include extensive releases which are favorable to the Company but which could result in settlements for larger amounts than originally anticipated. There also may be instances where a court may not approve a proposed settlement, which may result in additional litigation and potentially less beneficial outcomes for the Company. As in the past, the Company will continue to pursue settlement opportunities.

In addition to claims against policyholders, proceedings have been launched directly against insurers, including the Company, by individuals challenging insurers’ conduct with respect to the handling of past asbestos claims and by individuals seeking damages arising from alleged asbestos-related bodily injuries.  The Company anticipates the filing of other direct actions against insurers, including the Company, in the future. It is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, including whether the plaintiffs will be able to sustain these actions against insurers based on novel legal theories of liability. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to these claims and has received favorable rulings in certain jurisdictions.

Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (TPC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had entered into settlement agreements, which are subject to a number of contingencies, in connection with a number of these direct action claims.  These settlement agreements had been approved by the court in connection with proceedings initiated by TPC in the Johns Manville bankruptcy court.  On March 29, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York substantially affirmed the bankruptcy court’s orders, while vacating that portion of the bankruptcy court’s orders which required all future direct actions against TPC to first be approved by the bankruptcy court before proceeding in state or federal court. Various parties appealed the district court’s ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.  On February 15, 2008, the Second Circuit issued an opinion vacating on jurisdictional grounds the district court’s approval of the bankruptcy court’s order that barred the filing of certain direct action claims against TPC in the future. TPC and certain other parties filed Petitions for Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Second Circuit’s decision. Those petitions were granted and on June 18, 2009, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Company, reversing the Second Circuit’s decision. However, since the Second Circuit had not ruled on several additional issues principally related to procedural matters and the adequacy of notice provided to certain parties, the Supreme Court remanded the case to the Second Circuit for further proceedings on those specific issues.  On March 22, 2010, the Second Circuit issued an opinion in which it found that the notice of the 1986 Orders provided to the remaining objector was insufficient to bar contribution claims by that objector against TPC. On April 5, 2010, TPC filed a Petition for Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc with the Second Circuit, requesting further review of its March 22, 2010 opinion, which was denied on May 25, 2010.  On August 18, 2010, TPC filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Second Circuit’s March 22, 2010 opinion, and a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus seeking an order from the Supreme Court requiring the

55

Second Circuit to comply with the Supreme Court’s June 18, 2009 ruling in TPC’s favor. The Supreme Court denied the Petitions on November 29, 2010. The plaintiffs in the Statutory and Hawaii actions and the Common Law Claims actions (as defined in note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements) filed Motions to Compel with the bankruptcy court on September 2, 2010 and September 3, 2010, respectively, arguing that all conditions precedent to the settlements have been met and seeking to require TPC to pay the settlement amounts.  On September 30, 2010, TPC filed an Opposition to the plaintiffs’ Motions to Compel on the grounds that the conditions precedent to the settlements, principally the requirement that all contribution claims be barred, have not been met in light of the Second Circuit’s March 22, 2010 opinion.  On December 16, 2010, the bankruptcy court granted the plaintiffs’ motions and ruled that TPC was required to fund the settlements.  On January 20, 2011, the bankruptcy court entered judgment in accordance with its December 16, 2010 ruling and ordered TPC to pay the settlement amounts plus prejudgment interest. On January 21, 2011, TPC filed an appeal with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York from the bankruptcy court’s January 20, 2011 judgment.  On January 24, 2011, certain of the plaintiffs in the Common Law Claims actions appealed that portion of the bankruptcy court’s January 20, 2011 judgment that denied their request for an order of contempt and for sanctions. The appeals are pending.  (For a description of these matters, see note 10 of notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements).

Because each policyholder presents different liability and coverage issues, the Company generally reviews the exposure presented by each policyholder at least annually.  Among the factors which the Company may consider in the course of this review are: available insurance coverage, including the role of any umbrella or excess insurance the Company has issued to the policyholder; limits and deductibles; an analysis of the policyholder’s potential liability; the jurisdictions involved; past and anticipated future claim activity and loss development on pending claims; past settlement values of similar claims; allocated claim adjustment expense; potential role of other insurance; the role, if any, of non-asbestos claims or potential non-asbestos claims in any resolution process; and applicable coverage defenses or determinations, if any, including the determination as to whether or not an asbestos claim is a products/completed operation claim subject to an aggregate limit and the available coverage, if any, for that claim.

The Company’s quarterly asbestos reserve review includes an analysis of exposure and claim payment patterns by policyholder category, as well as recent settlements, policyholder bankruptcies, judicial rulings and legislative actions.  The Company also analyzes developing payment patterns among policyholders in the Home Office, Field Office and Assumed Reinsurance and Other categories as well as projected reinsurance billings and recoveries.  In addition, the Company reviews its historical gross and net loss and expense paid experience, year-by-year, to assess any emerging trends, fluctuations, or characteristics suggested by the aggregate paid activity.  Conventional actuarial methods are not utilized to establish asbestos reserves nor have the Company’s evaluations resulted in any way of determining a meaningful average asbestos defense or indemnity payment.

Net asbestos paid losses in the first six months of 2011 were $110 million, compared with $165 million in the same period of 2010.  The decrease in gross and net paid losses in 2011 primarily resulted from completing, during 2010, the final installment payments on a previously reserved settlement.  Net asbestos reserves totaled $2.44 billion at June 30, 2011, compared with $2.59 billion at June 30, 2010.

ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS AND LITIGATION

The Company continues to receive claims from policyholders who allege that they are liable for injury or damage arising out of their alleged disposition of toxic substances. Mostly, these claims are due to various legislative as well as regulatory efforts aimed at environmental remediation. For instance, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), enacted in 1980 and later modified, enables private parties as well as federal and state governments to take action with respect to releases and threatened releases of hazardous substances. This federal statute permits the recovery of response costs from some liable parties and may require liable parties to undertake their own remedial action. Liability under CERCLA may be joint and several with other responsible parties.

The Company has been, and continues to be, involved in litigation involving insurance coverage issues pertaining to environmental claims. The Company believes that some court decisions have interpreted the insurance coverage to be broader than the original intent of the insurers and policyholders. These decisions often pertain to insurance policies that were issued by the Company prior to the mid-1980s. These decisions continue to be inconsistent and vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Environmental claims when submitted rarely indicate the monetary amount being sought by the claimant from the policyholder, and the Company does not keep track of the monetary amount being sought in those few claims which indicate a monetary amount.

The resolution of environmental exposures by the Company generally occurs by settlement on a policyholder-by-policyholder basis as opposed to a claim-by-claim basis.  Generally, the Company strives to extinguish any obligations it may have under any policy issued to the policyholder for past, present and future environmental liabilities and extinguish any pending coverage litigation dispute with the policyholder.  This form of settlement is commonly referred to as a “buy-back” of policies for future environmental liability. In addition, many of the agreements have also extinguished any insurance obligation which the Company may have for other claims, including but not limited to asbestos and other cumulative injury claims.  The Company and its policyholders may also agree to settlements which extinguish any liability arising from known specified sites or claims.  Where appropriate, these agreements also include indemnities and hold harmless provisions to protect the Company.  The Company’s general purpose in executing these agreements is to reduce the Company’s potential environmental exposure and eliminate the risks presented by coverage litigation with the policyholder and related costs.

57

In establishing environmental reserves, the Company evaluates the exposure presented by each policyholder and the anticipated cost of resolution, if any. In the course of this analysis, the Company generally considers the probable liability, available coverage, relevant judicial interpretations and historical value of similar exposures. In addition, the Company considers the many variables presented, such as: the nature of the alleged activities of the policyholder at each site; the allegations of environmental harm at each site; the number of sites; the total number of potentially responsible parties at each site; the nature of environmental harm and the corresponding remedy at each site; the nature of government enforcement activities at each site; the ownership and general use of each site; the overall nature of the insurance relationship between the Company and the policyholder, including the role of any umbrella or excess insurance the Company has issued to the policyholder; the involvement of other insurers; the potential for other available coverage, including the number of years of coverage; the role, if any, of non-environmental claims or potential non-environmental claims in any resolution process; and the applicable law in each jurisdiction.  The evaluation of the exposure presented by a policyholder can change as information concerning that policyholder and the many variables presented is developed.  Conventional actuarial techniques are not used to estimate these reserves.

In its review of environmental reserves, the Company considers: past settlement payments; changing judicial and legislative trends; its reserves for the costs of litigating environmental coverage matters; the potential for policyholders with smaller exposures to be named in new clean-up actions for both on- and off-site waste disposal activities; the potential for adverse development; the potential for additional new claims beyond previous expectations; and the potential higher costs for new settlements.

The duration of the Company’s investigation and review of these claims and the extent of time necessary to determine an appropriate estimate, if any, of the value of the claim to the Company vary significantly and are dependent upon a number of factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the cooperation of the policyholder in providing claim information, the pace of underlying litigation or claim processes, the pace of coverage litigation between the policyholder and the Company and the willingness of the policyholder and the Company to negotiate, if appropriate, a resolution of any dispute pertaining to these claims. Because these factors vary from claim-to-claim and policyholder-by-policyholder, the Company cannot provide a meaningful average of the duration of an environmental claim. However, based upon the Company’s experience in resolving these claims, the duration may vary from months to several years.

The Company continues to receive notices from policyholders tendering claims for the first time.  These policyholders continue to present smaller exposures, have fewer sites and are lower tier defendants.  Further, in many instances, clean-up costs have been reduced because regulatory agencies are willing to accept risk-based site analyses and more efficient clean-up technologies.

Over the past several years, the Company has experienced generally favorable trends in overall environmental claim payments, in the number of new policyholders tendering environmental claims for the first time and in the number of pending declaratory judgment actions relating to environmental matters.  However, in the second quarter of 2011, the Company increased its net environmental reserves by $76 million, primarily because the degree to which those favorable trends continued was less than anticipated.  In the second quarter of 2010, the Company increased its net environmental reserves by $35 million due to a modest upward development in the expected defense and settlement costs for certain of its pending policyholders.

Net environmental paid losses in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 were $39 million and $35 million, respectively.  At June 30, 2011, approximately 94% of the net environmental reserve (approximately $365 million) was carried in a bulk reserve and included unresolved environmental claims, incurred but not reported environmental claims and the anticipated cost of coverage litigation disputes relating to these claims. The bulk reserve the Company carries is established and adjusted based upon the aggregate volume of in-process environmental claims and the Company’s experience in resolving those claims. The balance, approximately 6% of the net environmental reserve (approximately $23 million), consists of case reserves.

UNCERTAINTY REGARDING ADEQUACY OF ASBESTOS AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESERVES

As a result of the processes and procedures described above, management believes that the reserves carried for asbestos and environmental claims at June 30, 2011 are appropriately established based upon known facts, current law and management’s judgment. However, the uncertainties surrounding the final resolution of these claims continue, and it is difficult to determine the ultimate exposure for asbestos and environmental claims and related litigation. As a result, these reserves are subject to revision as new information becomes available and as claims develop. The continuing uncertainties include, without limitation, the risks and lack of predictability inherent in complex litigation, any impact from the bankruptcy protection sought by various asbestos producers and other asbestos defendants, a further increase or decrease in the cost to resolve, and/or the number of, asbestos and environmental claims beyond that which is anticipated, the role of any umbrella or excess policies the Company has issued, the resolution or adjudication of disputes pertaining to the amount of available coverage for asbestos and environmental claims in a manner inconsistent with the Company’s previous assessment of these claims, the number and outcome of direct actions against the Company, future developments pertaining to the Company’s ability to recover reinsurance for asbestos and environmental claims and the unavailability of other insurance sources potentially available to policyholders, whether through exhaustion of policy limits or through the  insolvency of other participating insurers.  In addition, uncertainties arise from the insolvency or bankruptcy of policyholders and other defendants.  It is also not possible to predict changes in the legal, regulatory and legislative environment and their impact on the future development of asbestos and environmental claims.  This development will be affected by future court and regulatory decisions and interpretations, including the outcome of legal challenges to legislative and/or judicial reforms establishing medical criteria for the pursuit of asbestos claims, as well as changes in applicable legislation.  It is also difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of complex coverage disputes until settlement negotiations near completion and significant legal questions are resolved or, failing settlement, until the dispute is adjudicated. This is particularly the case with policyholders in bankruptcy where negotiations often involve a large number of claimants and other parties and require court approval to be effective. As part of its continuing analysis of asbestos and environmental reserves, the Company continues to study the implications of these and other developments.  (Also see note 10 of notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements).

Because of the uncertainties set forth above, additional liabilities may arise for amounts in excess of the current related reserves.  In addition, the Company’s estimate of claims and claim adjustment expenses may change.  These additional liabilities or increases in estimates, or a range of either, cannot now be reasonably estimated and could result in income statement charges that could be material to the Company’s operating results in future periods.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

The Company’s invested assets at June 30, 2011 totaled $72.99 billion, of which 93% was invested in fixed maturity and short-term investments, 1% in equity securities, 1% in real estate and 5% in other investments.  Because the primary purpose of the investment portfolio is to fund future claims payments, the Company employs a conservative investment philosophy.  A significant majority of funds available for investment are deployed in a widely diversified portfolio of high quality, liquid taxable U.S. government, tax-exempt U.S. municipal and taxable corporate and U.S. agency mortgage-backed bonds.

The carrying value of the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio at June 30, 2011 totaled $62.98 billion.  The Company closely monitors the duration of its fixed maturity investments, and investment purchases and sales are executed with the objective of having adequate funds available to satisfy the Company’s insurance and debt obligations.  The weighted average credit quality of the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio, both including and excluding U.S. Treasury securities, was “Aa2” at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  Below investment grade securities represented 3.0% of the total fixed maturity investment portfolio at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.  The average effective duration of fixed maturities and short-term securities was 3.6 (3.9 excluding short-term securities) at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Obligations of States, Municipalities and Political Subdivisions

The Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 included $39.18 billion and $39.54 billion, respectively, of securities which are obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions (collectively referred to as the municipal bond portfolio).  The municipal bond portfolio is diversified across the United States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and includes general obligation and revenue bonds issued by states, cities, counties, school districts and similar issuers.  Included in the municipal bond portfolio at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $7.12 billion and $7.29 billion, respectively, of advance refunded or escrowed-to-maturity bonds (collectively referred to as pre-refunded bonds), which are bonds for which an irrevocable trust has been established to fund the remaining payments of principal and interest.  Such escrow accounts are verified as to their sufficiency by an external auditor and are almost exclusively comprised of U.S. Treasury securities.  Moody’s Investors Service has assigned a negative outlook to municipal securities issued by local governments within the United States.

The Company bases its investment decision on the underlying credit characteristics of the municipal security. While its municipal bond portfolio includes a number of securities that were enhanced by third-party insurance for the payment of principal and interest in the event of an issuer default, the Company does not rely on enhanced credit characteristics provided by such third-party insurance.  The downgrade during 2008 and 2009 of credit ratings of insurers of these securities resulted in a corresponding downgrade in the ratings of many such securities to the underlying rating of the respective security.  Of the insured municipal securities in the Company’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2011, approximately 98% were rated at A3 or above, and approximately 91% were rated at Aa3 or above, without the benefit of insurance.  The Company believes that a loss of the benefit of insurance would not result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity, due to the underlying credit strength of the issuers of the securities, as well as the Company’s ability and intent to hold the securities.  The average credit rating of the underlying issuers of these securities was “Aa2” at June 30, 2011.  The average credit rating of the entire municipal bond portfolio was “Aa1” at June 30, 2011 with and without the enhancement provided by third-party insurance.

Mortgage-Backed Securities, Collateralized Mortgage Obligations and Pass-Through Securities

The Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 included $3.77 billion and $4.16 billion, respectively, of residential mortgage-backed securities including pass-through-securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMO), all of which are subject to prepayment risk (either shortening or lengthening of duration). While prepayment risk for both guaranteed and non-guaranteed securities and its effect on income cannot be fully controlled, particularly when interest rates move dramatically, the Company’s investment strategy generally favors securities that control this risk within expected interest rate ranges.  Included in the totals at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $1.93 billion and $2.09 billion, respectively, of GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC (excluding FHA project loans) guaranteed residential mortgage-backed pass-through securities classified as available for sale.  Also included in those totals were residential CMOs classified as available for sale with a fair value of $1.84 billion and $2.07 billion at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  Approximately 39% and 38% of the Company’s CMO holdings were guaranteed by or fully collateralized by securities issued by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The average credit rating of all of the above securities was “Aa2” and “Aa1” at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

60

The Company makes investments in residential CMOs that are either guaranteed by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC, or if not guaranteed, are senior or super-senior positions within their respective securitizations.  Both guaranteed and non-guaranteed residential CMOs allocate the distribution of payments from the underlying mortgages among different classes of bondholders.  In addition, non-guaranteed residential CMOs provide structures that allocate the impact of credit losses to different classes of bondholders.  Senior and super-senior CMOs are protected, to varying degrees, from credit losses as those losses are initially allocated to subordinated bondholders.  The Company’s investment strategy is to purchase CMO tranches that are expected to offer the most favorable return given the Company’s assessment of associated risks.  The Company does not purchase residual interests in CMOs.

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities and Project Loans

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company held commercial mortgage-backed securities (including FHA project loans) of $442 million and $549 million, respectively.  The Company does not believe this portfolio exposes it to a material adverse impact on its results of operations, financial position or liquidity, due to the portfolio’s relatively small size and the underlying credit strength of these securities.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company’s fixed maturity investment portfolio included collateralized mortgage obligations backed by alternative documentation mortgages and asset-backed securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages with a collective fair value of $301 million and $297 million, respectively (comprising approximately 0.5% of the Company’s total fixed maturity investments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010).  The disruption in secondary investment markets for mortgage-backed securities provided the Company with the opportunity to selectively acquire additional such securities at discounted prices.  The Company purchased $36 million and $31 million of such securities in the six months ended June 30, 2011 and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.  The Company defines sub-prime mortgage-backed securities as investments in which the underlying loans primarily exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: low FICO scores, above-prime interest rates, high loan-to-value ratios or high debt-to-income ratios.  Alternative documentation securitizations are those in which the underlying loans primarily meet the government-sponsored entities’ requirements for credit score but do not meet the government-sponsored entities’ guidelines for documentation, property type, debt and loan-to-value ratios.  The average credit rating on these securities and obligations held by the Company was “Baa3” and “Baa2” at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Other Investments

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the Company’s other investments was $3.54 billion and $2.93 billion, respectively.  The Company’s other investments are primarily comprised of private equity limited partnerships, hedge funds, real estate partnerships, real estate and insurance joint ventures, mortgage loans, venture capital (through direct ownership and limited partnerships) and trading securities, which are subject to more volatility than the Company’s fixed maturity investments.  These asset classes have historically provided a higher return than fixed maturities but are subject to more volatility.  Net investment income provided by these asset classes totaled $237 million and $121 million in the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Equity Securities Available for Sale, Real Estate and Short-Term Investments

See note 1 of notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 for further information about these invested asset classes.

CATASTROPHE MODELING

The Company uses various analyses and methods, including computer modeling techniques, to analyze catastrophic events and the risks associated with them.  The Company uses these analyses and methods to make underwriting and reinsurance decisions designed to manage its exposure to catastrophic events.

61

In making underwriting and reinsurance decisions for hurricane and earthquake exposures, the Company uses third-party proprietary computer models to assist in its process of estimating the likelihood that the loss from a single event will equal or exceed a particular amount.  During the first quarter of 2011, a new version of a third-party proprietary computer model utilized by the Company, and others in the insurance industry, to estimate potential aggregate hurricane losses was released.  Although it is still too early to determine the impact that the changes included in the new version of this hurricane model may have on the Company’s estimates of the likelihood of exceedance disclosed below, the Company’s estimates could significantly increase as a result of those changes, and the changes could impact the Company’s underwriting strategy and capital management.

The tables below set forth the probabilities that estimated losses from a single event occurring in a one-year timeframe will equal or exceed the indicated loss amounts (expressed in dollars and as a percentage of the Company’s common equity), based on the prior version of the proprietary computer model utilized by the Company at December 31, 2010.  For example, on the basis described below the tables, the Company estimates that there is a one percent chance that the Company’s loss from a single U.S. hurricane in a one-year timeframe would equal or exceed $1.1 billion, or 5% of the Company’s common equity at December 31, 2010.

	Dollars (in billions)
Likelihood of Exceedance (1)	Single U.S. Hurricane		Single U.S. and  Canadian Earthquake
2.0% (1-in-50)	$	0.9	$	0.5
1.0% (1-in-100)	$	1.1	$	0.6
0.4% (1-in-250)	$	2.0	$	0.9
0.1% (1-in-1,000)	$	4.3	$	2.0

	Percentage of Common Equity (2)
Likelihood of Exceedance	Single U.S. Hurricane		Single U.S. and  Canadian Earthquake
2.0% (1-in-50)	4	%	2	%
1.0% (1-in-100)	5	%	3	%
0.4% (1-in-250)	9	%	4	%
0.1% (1-in-1,000)	18	%	8	%

(1)An event that has, for example, a 2% likelihood of exceedance is sometimes described as a “1-in-50 year event.”  As noted above, however, the probabilities in the table represent the likelihood of losses from a single event equaling or exceeding the indicated threshold loss amount in a one-year timeframe, not over a multi-year timeframe.  Also, because the probabilities relate to a single event, the probabilities do not address the likelihood of more than one event occurring in  a particular period, and, therefore, the amounts do not address potential aggregate catastrophe losses occurring in a one-year timeframe.

(2)The percentage of common equity is calculated by dividing (a) indicated loss amounts in dollars by (b) total common equity excluding net unrealized investment gains and losses, net of taxes.  Net unrealized investment gains and losses can be significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends.  Accordingly, the Company’s management uses the percentage of common equity calculated on this basis as a metric to evaluate the potential impact of a single hurricane or single earthquake on the Company’s financial position for purposes of making underwriting and reinsurance decisions.

The threshold loss amounts in the tables above, which are based on the Company’s in-force portfolio and catastrophic reinsurance program at December 31, 2010, are net of reinsurance, after-tax and exclude most loss adjustment expenses, which historically have been less than 10% of loss estimates.  The amounts for hurricanes reflect U.S. exposures and include property exposures, property residual market exposures and an adjustment for certain non-property exposures.  The amounts for earthquakes reflect U.S. and Canadian exposures and include property exposures and workers’ compensation exposures. The Company does not believe that the inclusion of hurricane or earthquake losses arising from other geographical areas or other exposures would materially change the estimated threshold loss amounts.   The “Catastrophe Reinsurance Coverage” section below provides information regarding changes in the Company’s catastrophic reinsurance program effective July 1, 2011.   Those changes are not expected to materially impact the threshold amounts in the above table.

62

Catastrophe modeling relies upon inputs based on experience, science, engineering and history.  These inputs reflect a significant amount of judgment and are subject to changes which may result in volatility in the modeled output.  Catastrophe modeling output may also fail to account for risks that are outside the range of normal probability or are otherwise unforeseeable.  Catastrophe modeling assumptions include, among others, the portion of purchased reinsurance that is collectible after a catastrophic event, which may prove to be materially incorrect.  Consequently, catastrophe modeling estimates are subject to significant uncertainty.  In the tables above, the uncertainty associated with the estimated threshold loss amounts increases significantly as the likelihood of exceedance decreases.  In other words, in the case of a relatively more remote event (e.g., 1-in-1,000), the estimated threshold loss amount is relatively less reliable.  Actual losses from an event could materially exceed the indicated threshold loss amount.  In addition, more than one such event could occur in any period.

Moreover, the Company is exposed to the risk of material losses from other than property and workers’ compensation coverages arising out of hurricanes and earthquakes, and it is exposed to catastrophe losses from perils other than hurricanes and earthquakes, such as tornadoes and other windstorms, hail, wildfires, severe winter weather, floods, volcanic eruptions and acts of terrorism.

There are no industry-standard methodologies or assumptions for projecting catastrophe exposure.  Accordingly, catastrophe estimates provided by different insurers may not be comparable.

For more information about the Company’s exposure to catastrophe losses, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Catastrophe losses could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, our financial position and/or liquidity, and could adversely impact our ratings, our ability to raise capital and the availability and cost of reinsurance” and “Item 1A—Risk Factors—We may be adversely affected if our pricing and capital models are inaccurate” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

CATASTROPHE REINSURANCE COVERAGE

General Catastrophe Reinsurance Treaty.  The Company utilizes a general catastrophe reinsurance treaty with unaffiliated reinsurers to help manage its exposure to losses resulting from catastrophes.  The general catastrophe reinsurance treaty covers the accumulation of net property losses arising out of one occurrence.  The treaty covers all of the Company’s exposures in the United States and Canada and their possessions and waters contiguous thereto, the Caribbean and Mexico.  The treaty only provides coverage for terrorism events in limited circumstances and excludes entirely losses arising from nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological attacks.

The following table summarizes the Company’s coverage under its General Catastrophe Reinsurance Treaty, effective for the period July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012:

Layer of Loss	Reinsurance Coverage In-Force
$0 - $1.0 billion	Loss 100% retained by the Company, except for certain losses covered by the Earthquake Excess-of-Loss Treaty as described below
$1.0 billion - $1.5 billion	20.0% ($100 million) of loss covered by treaty; 80.0% ($400 million) of loss retained by Company
$1.5 billion - $2.25 billion	56.7% ($425 million) of loss covered by treaty; 43.3% ($325 million) of loss retained by Company, except for certain losses incurred in the Northeastern United States, which may be covered by the Catastrophe Bond Program as described below.
Greater than $2.25 billion	100% of loss retained by Company, except for certain losses incurred in the Northeastern United States, which are covered by the Catastrophe Bond Program and Northeast Catastrophe Treaty as described below.

63

Catastrophe Bond Program.  On December 18, 2009, Longpoint Re II, Ltd. (Longpoint Re II), a newly formed independent Cayman Islands insurance company, successfully completed an offering to unrelated investors of $500 million aggregate principal amount of catastrophe bonds.  In connection with the offering, the Company and Longpoint Re II entered into two reinsurance agreements (covering a three-year and four-year period, respectively), each providing up to $250 million of reinsurance on a proportional basis from losses resulting from certain hurricane events in the northeastern United States.

Under the terms of these reinsurance agreements, the Company is obligated to pay annual reinsurance premiums to Longpoint Re II for the reinsurance coverage.  The reinsurance agreements utilize a dual trigger that is based upon the Company’s covered losses incurred and an index that is created by applying predetermined percentages to insured industry losses in each state in the covered area as reported by a third-party service provider.  The reinsurance agreements meet the requirements to be accounted for as reinsurance in accordance with the guidance for reinsurance contracts.  Amounts payable to the Company under the reinsurance agreement will be determined by the index-based losses (which are designed to approximate the Company’s actual losses from any covered event) but cannot exceed the Company’s actual losses.  The Company’s actual loss experience may differ from the index-based losses.  The principal amount of the catastrophe bonds will be reduced by any amounts paid to the Company under the reinsurance agreements.

The index-based losses attachment point and maximum limit are reset annually to maintain modeled probabilities of attachment and expected loss on the respective catastrophe bonds equal to the initial modeled probabilities of attachment and expected loss.  The two reinsurance agreements provide protection for covered events occurring before or on December 18, 2012 and December 18, 2013, respectively.  In accordance with the Longpoint Re II program, the index-based losses attachment point was reset on May 1, 2011.  For the period May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012, the Company will be entitled to begin recovering amounts under the two reinsurance agreements if the index-based losses in the covered area for a single occurrence reach an initial attachment amount of $2.208 billion.  The full $250 million coverage amount of each agreement is available on a proportional basis until index-based losses reach a maximum $2.793 billion limit.  The Company has not incurred any losses that have resulted in a recovery under the Longpoint Re II agreements since their inception.  For the period May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013, the index-based losses attachment point and maximum limit will be based on the new version of the third-party proprietary computer model used to estimate potential aggregate hurricane losses, discussed in the “Catastrophe Modeling” section above.  Because the Company has not yet determined the state weightings for the May 1, 2012 reset, it is not possible to determine the impact that the changes in the new version of this hurricane model may have on the index-based losses attachment point and maximum limit on the reinsurance agreements in the Longpoint Re II program, but both the attachment point and the maximum limit could increase significantly.

For more information about the Company’s catastrophe bond program, see “Item 1 — Business” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Northeast Catastrophe Reinsurance Treaty.  In addition to its general catastrophe treaty and its multi-year catastrophe bond program, the Company also is party to a Northeast General Catastrophe treaty which provides up to $600 million of coverage, subject to a $2.25 billion retention, for losses arising from hurricanes, earthquakes and winter storm or freeze losses from Virginia to Maine for the period July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012.  Losses from a covered event (occurring over several days) anywhere in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico may be used to satisfy the retention.  Recoveries under the catastrophe bond programs (if any) would be first applied to reduce losses subject to this treaty.

Earthquake Excess-of-Loss Reinsurance Treaty. The Company renewed its earthquake excess-of-loss treaty that provides for up to $142.5 million of coverage, subject to a $125 million retention, for earthquake losses incurred under policies written by the National Property business unit in the Company’s Business Insurance segment for the period July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012.

International Reinsurance Treaties.  For business underwritten in Canada, the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland and in the Company’s operations at Lloyd’s, separate reinsurance protections are purchased locally that have lower net retentions more commensurate with the size of the respective local balance sheet.  The Company conducts an ongoing review of its risk and catastrophe coverages and makes changes as it deems appropriate.

REINSURANCE RECOVERABLES

For a description of the Company’s reinsurance recoverables, refer to Reinsurance Recoverables in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The following table summarizes the composition of the Company’s reinsurance recoverable assets:

(in millions)	June 30,2011			December 31,  2010
Gross reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid claims and claim adjustment expenses(1)	$	6,761		$	6,934
Allowance for uncollectible reinsurance	(359		)	(363		)
Net reinsurance recoverables	6,402			6,571
Structured settlements (2)	3,330			3,380
Mandatory pools and associations (3)	2,048			2,043
Total reinsurance recoverables	$	11,780		$	11,994

(1)  Transatlantic Holdings, Inc. and Allied World Assurance Co. Holdings, AG recently signed a definitive merger agreement, expected to be finalized during the fourth quarter of 2011, which would create a combined entity called TransAllied Group Holdings, AG.  At June 30, 2011, the Company had net reinsurance recoverables of $114 million from Allied World Assurance Co. Holdings, AG, which is rated “A” by A.M. Best.

(2) Included in the Company’s reinsurance recoverables are certain structured settlement annuities issued by a subsidiary of Old Mutual U.S. Life Holdings, Inc. for which the Company is contingently liable.  In April 2011, Old Mutual plc, a U.K. company, completed the sale of Old Mutual U.S. Life Holdings, Inc., its U.S. life insurance subsidiary, to Harbinger Group Inc.

(3) Includes impact from certain reclassifications made to 2010 amounts to conform to 2011 presentation.

The $169 million decline in net reinsurance recoverables since December 31, 2010 primarily reflected cash collections and the impact of net favorable prior year reserve development.

OUTLOOK

The following discussion provides outlook information for certain key drivers of the Company’s results of operations and capital position.

Premiums.  The Company’s earned premiums are a function of net written premium volume.  Net written premiums comprise both renewal business and new business and are recognized as earned premium over the life of the underlying policies. When business renews, the amount of net written premiums associated with that business may increase or decrease (renewal premium change) as a result of increases or decreases in rate and/or insured exposures, which the Company considers as a measure of units of exposure.  Net written premiums from both renewal and new business, and therefore earned premiums, are impacted by competitive market conditions as well as general economic conditions, which, particularly in the case of the Business Insurance segment, affect audit premium adjustments, policy endorsements and mid-term cancellations.  Net written premiums are also impacted by the structure of reinsurance programs and related costs.

The Company expects retention levels (the amount of expiring premium that renews, before the impact of renewal premium changes) will remain strong, generally consistent with recent periods.  In the Business Insurance segment, the Company expects an improving trend in renewal premium changes, including improving trends in both of its components of rate changes and insured exposures, during the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012 compared with the first six months of 2011.  In the Financial, Professional & International Insurance segment, the Company expects that renewal premium changes, including both components of rate changes and insured exposures, will not meaningfully change during the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012 compared with the first six months of 2011.  In the Personal Insurance segment, the Company expects that Agency Automobile renewal premium changes during the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012 will remain positive but will decrease slightly compared with the first six months of 2011.  For its Agency Homeowners’ and Other business, the Company expects renewal premium changes during the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012 will remain positive but decline slightly when compared with the first six months of 2011.

65

The pricing environment for new business generally has less of an impact on underwriting profitability than renewal rate changes, given the volume of new business relative to renewal business.  While property and casualty insurance market conditions are expected to remain competitive in the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012 for new business, the Company believes it is well-positioned to capitalize on new business opportunities as agents, brokers and customers seek to place business with high-quality carriers.  In addition, the Company launched a new distribution channel in 2009 that markets personal insurance products directly to consumers, which is expected to generate modest growth in premium volume for Personal Insurance during the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012.

While economic conditions have stabilized, uncertainty remains, and the trend may not continue.  Further, if growth continues, it may be at a slow rate for an extended period of time.  In addition, some economic conditions, such as the commercial and residential real estate environment and employment rates, may continue to be weak.  If weak economic conditions persist or deteriorate, low levels of economic activity could impact exposure changes at renewal and our ability to write business at acceptable rates.  Additionally, such low levels of economic activity could adversely impact audit premium adjustments, policy endorsements and mid-term cancellations after policies are written.  All of the foregoing, in turn, could adversely impact net written premiums in the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012.  Since earned premiums lag net written premiums, earned premiums could be adversely impacted in the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012.

Underwriting Gain/Loss.  The Company’s underwriting gain/loss can be significantly impacted by catastrophe losses and net favorable or unfavorable prior year reserve development, as well as underlying underwriting margins.

Catastrophe losses are inherently unpredictable from year to year.  The Company experienced significant catastrophe losses in the first six months of 2011 which adversely impacted its results of operations.  The Company’s results of operations would be further adversely impacted if significant catastrophe losses were to continue during the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012.  See “Catastrophe Modeling” above for a discussion of changes to a third-party catastrophe model and their uncertain impact.

In recent years, the Company has experienced significant amounts of net favorable prior year reserve development, although at lower levels in recent quarters, driven by better than expected loss experience in all of the Company’s segments.  The lower levels of prior year development in recent quarters may be in part due to the estimation process incorporating those factors that led to the higher levels of prior year development in previous years.  If that trend continues, the better than expected loss experience may continue at these recent lower levels, or even lower levels.  However, given the inherent uncertainty in estimating claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, loss experience could develop such that the Company recognizes higher or lower levels of favorable prior year reserve development, no favorable prior year reserve development or unfavorable prior year reserve development in future periods.  In addition, the ongoing review of prior year claims and claim adjustment expense reserves, or other changes in current period circumstances, may result in the Company revising current year loss estimates upward or downward in future periods.

In Business Insurance, the anticipated impact of the improving trend in renewal premium changes coupled with an expected modest increase in underlying losses will likely result in underlying underwriting margins during the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012 that are generally consistent with the first six months of 2011.  In Financial, Professional & International Insurance, the anticipated impact of lower underlying losses, offset by higher employee- and technology-related costs to enhance operations and support future business growth in International, will likely result in underlying underwriting margins during the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012 that are generally consistent with the first six months of 2011.  In Personal Insurance, the Company anticipates increased underlying underwriting margins during the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012 as compared with the first six months of 2011, reflecting the anticipated impact of continued positive renewal premium changes, a modest increase in underlying losses and weather patterns consistent with the Company’s expectations.  Also in Personal Insurance, the Company’s direct to consumer initiative, as discussed above, while intended to enhance the Company’s long-term ability to compete successfully in a consumer-driven marketplace, is expected to remain unprofitable for a number of years as this book of business grows and matures.

Investment Portfolio.  The Company expects to continue to focus its investment strategy on maintaining a high-quality investment portfolio and a relatively low average effective duration.

66

Net investment income is a material contributor to the Company’s results of operations.  While interest rates have recently risen above the historic lows experienced in the second half of 2010, the Company expects investment returns for its fixed maturity investment portfolio to be slightly lower in the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012 than in recent periods due to lower reinvestment yields available for maturing long-term fixed maturity investments. Short-term interest rates are expected to remain at or near historically low levels.  The Company expects investment income in its non-fixed maturity investment portfolio in the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012 to be generally consistent with 2010.  However, if general economic conditions and/or investment market conditions deteriorate in the remainder of 2011 and into early 2012, the Company could also experience a reduction in net investment income and/or significant realized investment losses, including impairments.  The Company expects its fixed maturity investments, including its municipal portfolio, to provide adequate risk-adjusted returns and support its insurance operations over the long-term.  For further discussion of the Company’s investment portfolio, see “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Investment Portfolio” in this report.

Capital Position.  The Company believes it has a strong capital position and expects to continue its common share repurchase program in the remainder of 2011 as part of its continuing efforts to create shareholder value.  The Company expects the total dollar amount of share repurchases in the remainder of 2011 to approximate $400 million in excess of operating income for the second half of 2011.  The actual amount of share repurchases will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s earnings, corporate and regulatory requirements, share price, catastrophe losses, strategic initiatives and other market conditions.  The Company does not expect that it will continue to repurchase shares in excess of its operating income in future years.

The Company had a net after-tax unrealized investment gain of $2.11 billion in its fixed maturity investment portfolio at June 30, 2011.  While the Company does not attempt to predict future interest rate movements, a rising interest rate environment would reduce the market value of fixed maturity investments and, therefore, reduce shareholders’ equity, and a declining interest rate environment would have the opposite effects.

Many of the statements in this “Outlook” section are forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks and uncertainties that are often difficult to predict and beyond the Company’s control.  Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.   Further, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them.  See “—Forward Looking Statements.”  For a discussion of potential risks and uncertainties that could impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors” herein and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and “Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Estimates” in this report.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the short- and long-term cash requirements of its business operations.  The liquidity requirements of the Company’s business have been met primarily by funds generated from operations, asset maturities and income received on investments.  Cash provided from these sources is used primarily for claims and claim adjustment expense payments and operating expenses, and in recent years, for common share repurchases.  The timing and amount of catastrophe claims are inherently unpredictable.  Such claims increase liquidity requirements.  The timing and amount of reinsurance recoveries may be affected by reinsurer solvency and reinsurance coverage disputes.  Additionally, the variability of asbestos-related claim payments, as well as the volatility of potential judgments and settlements arising out of litigation, may also result in increased liquidity requirements.  It is the opinion of the Company’s management that the Company’s future liquidity needs will be adequately met from all of the above sources.

At June 30, 2011, total cash and short-term invested assets aggregating $2.43 billion and having a weighted average maturity of 48 days were held at the holding company.  The assets held at the holding company are sufficient to meet the holding company’s current liquidity requirements and are more than two times the Company’s target level.  These liquidity requirements primarily include shareholder dividends and debt service.  The Company has a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission which permits it to issue securities from time to time.  The Company also has a $1.0 billion line of credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions that expires in 2013.  This line of credit also supports the Company’s $800 million commercial paper program, of which $100 million was outstanding at June 30, 2011.  The Company is not reliant on its commercial paper program to meet its operating cash flow needs.

67

The Company currently utilizes uncollateralized letters of credit issued by major banks with an aggregate limit of approximately $545 million to provide much of the capital needed to support its obligations at Lloyd’s.  If uncollateralized letters of credit are not available at a reasonable price or at all in the future, the Company can collateralize these letters of credit or may have to seek alternative means of supporting its obligations at Lloyd’s, which could include utilizing holding company funds on hand.

Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 totaled $901 million and $1.05 billion, respectively.  Cash flows in the first six months of 2011 reflected an increase in losses paid related to catastrophes and ongoing business (including the impact of increased loss costs) and lower receipts related to net investment income.  These factors were partially offset by a higher level of collected premiums, a lower level of paid operating expenses and a lower level of paid losses related to asbestos claims, as well as operations in runoff.

Investing Activities

Net cash flows provided by investing activities in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 totaled $655 million and $2.20 billion, respectively.  The book value of the Company’s consolidated total investments (excluding net unrealized appreciation) at June 30, 2011 decreased by $315 million from year-end 2010, driven by the net sales and maturities of fixed maturity investments.  The decrease in total investments primarily reflected the impact of the Company’s common share repurchases of $1.34 billion under its share repurchase authorization in the first six months of 2011, partially offset by operating cash flows of $901 million.  Net pretax unrealized appreciation of investments of $3.41 billion at June 30, 2011 was $586 million higher than at year-end 2010.

On June 17, 2011, the Company acquired 43% of the common stock of J. Malucelli Participações em Seguros e Resseguros S.A, a Brazilian company (“JMalucelli”).  JMalucelli is currently the market leader in surety in Brazil based on market share.  The Company’s investment totaled approximately $410 million in U.S. dollars, which was funded with cash provided internally from an operating subsidiary of the Company.  The Company has an option to increase its interest in JMalucelli up to 49.9% within 18 months from the date of the consummation of the transaction.

The primary goals of the Company’s asset - liability management process are to satisfy the insurance liabilities and maintain sufficient liquidity to cover fluctuations in projected liability cash flows.  Generally, the expected principal and interest payments produced by the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio adequately fund the estimated runoff of the Company’s insurance reserves.  Although this is not an exact cash flow match in each period, the substantial degree by which the market value of the fixed maturity portfolio exceeds the expected present value of the net insurance liabilities, as well as the positive cash flow from newly sold policies and the large amount of high quality liquid bonds, contributes to the Company’s ability to fund claim payments without having to sell illiquid assets or access credit facilities.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows used in financing activities in the first six months of 2011 and 2010 totaled $1.49 billion and $3.23 billion, respectively.  The totals in both periods primarily reflected common share repurchases and dividends to shareholders, partially offset by the proceeds from employee stock option exercises.

Dividends.  Dividends paid to shareholders totaled $329 million and $343 million in the first six months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of the Company’s common stock will be at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors.  Dividends would be paid by the Company only if declared by its board of directors out of funds legally available, subject to any other restrictions that may be applicable to the Company.

Share Repurchase Authorization.  The Company’s board of directors has approved common share repurchase authorizations under which repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in private transactions or otherwise.  The authorizations do not have a stated expiration date.  The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, share price, catastrophe losses, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions), market conditions and other factors.  In January 2011, the board of

directors approved a share repurchase authorization that added an additional $5 billion of repurchase capacity to the $1.51 billion of capacity remaining at December 31, 2010.  During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 3.9 million and 22.8 million shares, respectively, under its share repurchase authorization, for a total cost of approximately $237 million and $1.34 billion, respectively.  The average cost per share repurchased was $60.27 and $58.58, respectively.  At June 30, 2011, the Company had $5.17 billion of capacity remaining under the share repurchase authorization.

Conversion of Preferred Stock to Common Stock.  In May 2011, the Company’s board of directors authorized the redemption of the Company’s preferred stock held by The Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan (the Savings Plan) and gave notice of that redemption to the appropriate fiduciaries of the Savings Plan.  Following a fiduciary review, the Savings Plan exercised its right to convert each preferred share into eight shares of the Company’s common stock.  As a result, all preferred shares outstanding on June 7, 2011 (190,083 shares) were converted into a total of 1.52 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

Capital Structure.  The following table summarizes the components of the Company’s capital structure at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

(in millions)	June 30,2011			December 31,  2010
Debt:
Short-term	$	350		$	109
Long-term	6,269			6,519
Net unamortized fair value adjustments and debt issuance costs	(15		)	(17		)
Total debt	6,604			6,611
Preferred shareholders’ equity	—			68
Common shareholders’ equity:
Common stock and retained earnings, less treasury stock	23,297			24,152
Accumulated other changes in equity from nonowner sources	1,711			1,255
Total shareholders’ equity	25,008			25,475
Total capitalization	$	31,612		$	32,086

The $474 million decrease in total capitalization from December 31, 2010 primarily reflected the impact of common share repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase authorization totaling $1.34 billion and shareholder dividends of $331 million in the first six months of 2011, partially offset by net income of $475 million.

The following table provides a reconciliation of total capitalization excluding net unrealized gain on investments to total capitalization presented in the foregoing table.

(dollars in millions)	June 30,2011			December 31,  2010
Total capitalization excluding net unrealized gain on investments	$	29,373		$	30,228
Net unrealized gain on investments, net of taxes	2,239			1,858
Total capitalization	$	31,612		$	32,086
Debt-to-total capital ratio	20.9		%	20.6		%
Debt-to-total capital ratio excluding net unrealized gain on investments	22.5		%	21.9		%

69

The debt-to-total capital ratio excluding net unrealized gains on investments is calculated by dividing (a) debt by (b) total capitalization excluding net unrealized gains and losses on investments, net of taxes.  Net unrealized gains and losses on investments can be significantly impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and are not necessarily indicative of operating trends.  Accordingly, in the opinion of the Company’s management, the debt-to-total capital ratio calculated on this basis provides another useful metric for investors to understand the Company’s financial leverage position.  The Company’s debt-to-total capital ratio of 22.5% at June 30, 2011 calculated on this basis was within the Company’s target range.

RATINGS

Ratings are an important factor in assessing the Company’s competitive position in the insurance industry.  The Company receives ratings from the following major rating agencies: A.M. Best Company (A.M. Best), Fitch Ratings (Fitch), Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) and Standard & Poor’s Corp. (S&P).  For additional discussion of ratings and the potential impacts of a downgrade in such ratings, see the “Ratings” section of “Part I — Item 1 — Business” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The following rating agency action was taken since April 21, 2011, the date on which the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

·On May 26, 2011, A.M. Best affirmed the Company’s debt ratings for The Travelers Companies, Inc. and reaffirmed the claims-paying ratings for the Travelers Reinsurance Pool, Travelers C&S Co. of America, First Floridian Auto and Home Ins. Co., First Trenton Indemnity Company, The Premier Insurance Company of Massachusetts, Travelers C&S Co. of Europe Ltd. and Travelers Guarantee Company of Canada.  The outlook for all ratings is stable.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

For a description of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, refer to “Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Estimates” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The Company considers its most significant accounting estimates to be those applied to claims and claim adjustment expense reserves and related reinsurance recoverables, investment valuation and impairments, and goodwill impairments. Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting estimates since December 31, 2010.

Claims and Claim Adjustment Expense Reserves

The table below displays the Company’s gross claims and claim adjustment expense reserves by product line.  Additional liabilities may arise for amounts in excess of the current related reserves.  In addition, the Company's estimate of claims and claim adjustment expenses may change. These additional liabilities or increases in estimates, or a range of either, cannot now be reasonably estimated and could result in income statement charges that could be material to the Company's operating results in future periods. In particular, a portion of the Company’s gross claims and claim adjustment expense reserves (totaling $3.20 billion at June 30, 2011) are for asbestos and environmental claims and related litigation. While the ongoing review of asbestos and environmental claims and associated liabilities considers the inconsistencies of court decisions as to coverage, plaintiffs’ expanded theories of liability and the risks inherent in complex litigation and other uncertainties, in the opinion of the Company’s management, it is possible that the outcome of the continued uncertainties regarding these claims could result in liability in future periods that differs from current reserves by an amount that could be material to the Company’s future operating results. See the preceding discussion of “Asbestos Claims and Litigation” and “Environmental Claims and Litigation.”

Gross claims and claim adjustment expense reserves by product line were as follows:

	June 30, 2011						December 31, 2010
(in millions)	Case		IBNR		Total		Case		IBNR		Total
General liability	$	5,706	$	10,263	$	15,969	$	5,809	$	10,449	$	16,258

Claims and claim adjustment expense reserves	$	26,405	$	26,191	$	52,596	$	25,872	$	25,734	$	51,606

(1) Includes impact from certain reclassifications made to 2010 amounts to conform to 2011 presentation.

The $990 million increase in gross claims and claim adjustment expense reserves since December 31, 2010 primarily reflected the impact of significant catastrophe losses incurred in the first six months of 2011, partially offset by net favorable prior year reserve development and by payments related to operations in runoff, including asbestos and environmental claims.

Asbestos and environmental reserves are included in the General liability, Commercial multi-peril and International and other lines in the summary table above.  Asbestos and environmental reserves are discussed separately; see “Asbestos Claims and Litigation”, “Environmental Claims and Litigation” and “Uncertainty Regarding Adequacy of Asbestos and Environmental Reserves.”

For the Company’s disclosures about market risk, please see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  There have been no material changes to the Company’s disclosures about market risk in Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2011.  Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

In addition, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The information required with respect to this item can be found under “Contingencies” in note 10 of notes to the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.

Item 1A.  RISK FACTORS

For a discussion of the Company’s potential risks or uncertainties, please see “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In addition, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Outlook” and “— Critical Accounting Estimates” herein and in the 2010 Form 10-K.  Other than as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

A failure, or the perceived risk of a failure, to raise the statutory debt limit of the United States could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The U.S. Treasury has estimated that, on August 2, 2011, the United States is expected to reach its statutory debt limit. Unless Congress and the President can agree to raise the statutory debt limit,  the United States may be unable to pay its obligations, including treasury securities, as they become due.  In light of that risk, each of Moody’s Investors Service, Standard & Poor’s Corp. and Fitch Ratings has publicly warned of the possibility of a downgrade to the United States’ credit rating.  The impact of a failure to raise the statutory debt limit is inherently unpredictable.  The failure to raise the debt limit (or an increase in the perceived risk that such a failure may occur and/or the United States may not pay its debt obligations when due) could have a material adverse effect on financial markets and economic conditions in the United States and throughout the world.  In turn, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  In particular, these events could have a material adverse effect on the value and liquidity of financial assets, including assets in our investment portfolio. Our investment portfolio at June 30, 2011 is described in note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in this report and included $10.02 billion carrying value of non-fixed-income securities and $62.98 billion carrying value of fixed income securities, of which $2.15 billion consisted of U.S. Treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government and government agencies and authorities and $39.18 billion consisted of obligations of states, municipalities and political subdivisions.

For a discussion of the risks to our business during or following a financial market disruption and risks to our investment portfolio, see the risk factors entitled “During or following period of financial market disruption or economic downturn, our business could be materially and adversely affected” and “Our investment portfolio may suffer reduced returns or material realized or unrealized losses” included in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Total		4,510,492	$	60.56	3,933,609	$	5,172,308,937

The Company’s board of directors has approved common share repurchase authorizations under which repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in private transactions or otherwise.  The authorizations do not have a stated expiration date.  The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, share price, catastrophe losses, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions), market conditions and other factors.

The Company repurchased 576,883 shares during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that were not part of the publicly announced share repurchase authorization.  These shares were repurchased to cover payroll withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards and exercises of stock options, and shares used by employees to cover the exercise price of certain stock options that were exercised.

74

Item 5.    OTHER INFORMATION

All of the Company’s executive officers hold equity in the Company in excess of the required level under the Company’s executive stock ownership policy.  For a summary of this policy as currently in effect, see “Stock Ownership Guidelines” under “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 12, 2011.  From time to time, some of the Company’s executives may determine that it is advisable to diversify their investments for personal financial planning reasons, or may seek liquidity for other reasons, and may sell shares of common stock of the Company in the open market, in private transactions or to the Company.  To effect such sales, some of the Company’s executives have entered into, and may in the future enter into, trading plans designed to comply with the Company’s Securities Trading Policy and the provisions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The trading plans will not reduce any of the executives’ ownership of the Company’s shares below the applicable executive stock ownership guidelines.  The Company does not undertake any obligation to report Rule 10b5-1 plans that may be adopted by any employee or director of the Company in the future, or to report any modifications or termination of any publicly announced plan.

As of the date of this report, Jay S. Benet, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, was the only “named executive officer” (i.e., an executive officer named in the compensation disclosures in the Company’s proxy statement) that has entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan that remains in effect. The trading plan extends up to approximately eight months from the date of this report. Under the Company’s stock ownership guidelines, Mr. Benet has a target ownership level established as the lesser of 30,000 shares or the equivalent value of 300% of base salary (as such amounts are calculated for purposes of the stock ownership guidelines). See “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Stock Ownership Guidelines” in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 12, 2011.

Fair Value Measurements

Jun. 30, 2011

Fair Value Measurements disclosure

Fair Value Measurements disclosure [Text Block]

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance.  The framework is based on the inputs used in valuation, gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets, and requires that observable inputs be used in the valuations when available.  The disclosure of fair value estimates in the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy is based on whether the significant inputs into the valuation are observable.  In determining the level of the hierarchy in which the estimate is disclosed, the highest priority is given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s significant market assumptions.  The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is reported is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety.  The three levels of the hierarchy are as follows:

· Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

· Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severities, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.

· Level 3 - Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable.  The unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use.

Valuation of Investments Reported at Fair Value in Financial Statements

The fair value of a financial instrument is the estimated amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between knowledgeable, unrelated, willing parties, i.e., not in a forced transaction.  The estimated fair value of a financial instrument may differ from the amount that could be realized if the security was sold in an immediate sale, e.g., a forced transaction.  Additionally, the valuation of fixed maturity investments is more subjective when markets are less liquid due to the lack of market based inputs, which may increase the potential that the estimated fair value of an investment is not reflective of the price at which an actual transaction would occur.

For investments that have quoted market prices in active markets, the Company uses the unadjusted quoted market prices as fair value and includes these prices in the amounts disclosed in Level 1 of the hierarchy.  The Company receives the quoted market prices from a third party, nationally recognized pricing service (pricing service).  When quoted market prices are unavailable, the Company utilizes a pricing service to determine an estimate of fair value, which is mainly used for its fixed maturity investments.  The fair value estimates provided from this pricing service are included in the amount disclosed in Level 2 of the hierarchy.  If quoted market prices and an estimate from a pricing service are unavailable, the Company produces an estimate of fair value based on internally developed valuation techniques, which, depending on the level of observable market inputs, will render the fair value estimate as Level 2 or Level 3.  The Company bases all of its estimates of fair value for assets on the bid price as it represents what a third-party market participant would be willing to pay in an arm’s length transaction.

Fixed Maturities

The Company utilizes a pricing service to estimate fair value measurements for approximately 99% of its fixed maturities.  The pricing service utilizes market quotations for fixed maturity securities that have quoted prices in active markets.  Since fixed maturities other than U.S. Treasury securities generally do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service prepares estimates of fair value measurements for these securities using its proprietary pricing applications, which include available relevant market information, benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing.  Additionally, the pricing service uses an Option Adjusted Spread model to develop prepayment and interest rate scenarios.

The pricing service evaluates each asset class based on relevant market information, relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news.  The market inputs utilized in the pricing evaluation, listed in the approximate order of priority, include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data, and industry and economic events.  The extent of the use of each market input depends on the asset class and the market conditions.  Depending on the security, the priority of the use of inputs may change or some market inputs may not be relevant.  For some securities, additional inputs may be necessary.

The pricing service utilized by the Company has indicated that they will only produce an estimate of fair value if there is objectively verifiable information to produce a valuation.  If the pricing service discontinues pricing an investment, the Company would be required to produce an estimate of fair value using some of the same methodologies as the pricing service but would have to make assumptions for market-based inputs that are unavailable due to market conditions.

The fair value estimates of most fixed maturity investments are based on observable market information rather than market quotes.  Accordingly, the estimates of fair value for such fixed maturities, other than U.S. Treasury securities, provided by the pricing service are included in the amount disclosed in Level 2 of the hierarchy.  The estimated fair value of U.S. Treasury securities is included in the amount disclosed in Level 1 as the estimates are based on unadjusted market prices.

The Company holds privately placed corporate bonds and estimates the fair value of these bonds using an internal matrix that is based on market information regarding interest rates, credit spreads and liquidity.  The underlying source data for calculating the matrix of credit spreads relative to the U.S. Treasury curve are the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Index and the BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield BB Rated Index.  The Company includes the fair value estimates of these corporate bonds in Level 2, since all significant inputs are market observable.

While the vast majority of the Company’s municipal bonds are included in Level 2, the Company holds a small number of municipal bonds which are not valued by the pricing service and estimates the fair value of these bonds using an internal pricing matrix with some unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation.  Due to the limited amount of observable market information, the Company includes the fair value estimates for these particular bonds in Level 3.  Additionally, the Company holds a small amount of fixed maturities that have characteristics that make them unsuitable for matrix pricing.  For these fixed maturities, the Company obtains a quote from a broker (typically a market maker).  Due to the disclaimers on the quotes that indicate that the price is indicative only, the Company includes these fair value estimates in Level 3.

Equities — Public Common and Preferred

For public common and preferred stocks, the Company receives prices from a nationally recognized pricing service that are based on observable market transactions and includes these estimates in the amount disclosed in Level 1.  Infrequently, current market quotes in active markets are unavailable for certain non-redeemable preferred stocks held by the Company.  In these instances, the Company receives an estimate of fair value from the pricing service that provides fair value estimates for the Company’s fixed maturities. The service utilizes some of the same methodologies to price the non-redeemable preferred stocks as it does for the fixed maturities. The Company includes the fair value estimate for these non-redeemable preferred stocks in the amount disclosed in Level 2.

Other Investments

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company held investments in non-public common and preferred equity securities, with fair value estimates of $71 million and $57 million, respectively, reported in other investments, where the fair value estimate is determined either internally or by an external fund manager based on recent filings, operating results, balance sheet stability, growth and other business and market sector fundamentals.  Due to the significant unobservable inputs in these valuations, the Company includes the total fair value estimate for all of these investments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 in the amount disclosed in Level 3. The Company holds investments in various publicly-traded securities which are reported in other investments.  The $43 million and $42 million fair value of these investments at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, was disclosed in Level 1.  These investments include securities in the Company’s trading portfolio, mutual funds and other small holdings.

Derivatives

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company held $30 million and $37 million, respectively, of convertible bonds containing embedded conversion options that are valued separately from the host bond contract in the amount disclosed in Level 2 — fixed maturities.

The Company had no financial assets or financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2011 or twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, At Fair Value

The Company uses various financial instruments in the normal course of its business. The Company’s insurance contracts are excluded from fair value of financial instruments accounting guidance and, therefore, are not included in the amounts discussed below.

The carrying values of cash, short-term securities and investment income accrued approximated their fair values.

The carrying values of $534 million and $647 million of financial instruments classified as other assets approximated their fair values at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The carrying values of $3.71 billion and $3.75 billion of financial instruments classified as other liabilities at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, also approximated their fair values. Fair value is determined using various methods including discounted cash flows, as appropriate for the various financial instruments.

The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt at June 30, 2011 was $6.60 billion and $7.15 billion, respectively. The respective totals at December 31, 2010 were $6.61 billion and $7.21 billion.  The Company utilized a pricing service to estimate fair value measurements for approximately 96% and 94% of its debt, other than commercial paper, at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  The pricing service utilizes market quotations for debt that have quoted prices in active markets.  For the small amount of the Company’s debt securities for which a pricing service is not used, the Company utilizes pricing estimates from a nationally recognized broker/dealer to estimate fair value.  If estimates of fair value are unavailable from the pricing service or the broker/dealer, the Company produces an estimate of fair value based on internally developed valuation techniques which are based on a discounted cash flow methodology and incorporates all available relevant observable market inputs.

The fair value of commercial paper included in debt outstanding at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 approximated its book value because of its short-term nature.

6. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Share Repurchase Authorization.  The Company’s board of directors has approved common share repurchase authorizations under which repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, pursuant to pre-set trading plans meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in private transactions or otherwise.  The authorizations do not have a stated expiration date.  The timing and actual number of shares to be repurchased in the future will depend on a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, earnings, catastrophe losses, capital requirements of the Company’s operating subsidiaries, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, other investment opportunities (including mergers and acquisitions), market conditions and other factors.  During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company repurchased 3.9 million and 22.8 million shares, respectively, under its share repurchase authorization, for a total cost of approximately $237 million and $1.34 billion, respectively.  The average cost per share repurchased was $60.27 and $58.58, respectively.  At June 30, 2011, the Company had $5.17 billion of capacity remaining under the share repurchase authorization.

Conversion of Preferred Stock to Common Stock.  In May 2011, the Company’s board of directors authorized the redemption of the Company’s preferred stock held by The Travelers 401(k) Savings Plan (the Savings Plan) and gave notice of that redemption to the appropriate fiduciaries of the Savings Plan.  Following a fiduciary review, the Savings Plan exercised its right to convert each preferred share into eight shares of the Company’s common stock.  As a result, all preferred shares outstanding on June 7, 2011 (190,083 shares) were converted into a total of 1.52 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

Changes In Equity From Nonowner Sources.  The Company’s total changes in equity from nonowner sources were as follows:

Net loss per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 excluded the allocation of $4.6 million of undistributed loss to participating share-based awards, since such allocation would result in anti-dilution of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  In addition, the net loss per diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 excluded the weighted average effects of 4.6 million stock options and performance shares, and convertible preferred stock convertible into 1.2 million common shares.  The impact of these potential shares of common stock and their effects on income were excluded from the calculation of net loss per share on a diluted basis as their effect was anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Asbestos- and Environmental-Related Proceedings

In the ordinary course of its insurance business, the Company receives claims for insurance arising under policies issued by the Company asserting alleged injuries and damages from asbestos- and environmental-related exposures that are the subject of related coverage litigation, including, among others, the litigation described below.  The Company is defending asbestos- and environmental-related litigation vigorously and believes that it has meritorious defenses; however, the outcomes of these disputes are uncertain.  In this regard, the Company employs dedicated specialists and aggressive resolution strategies to manage asbestos and environmental loss exposure, including settling litigation under appropriate circumstances.

Asbestos Direct Action Litigation — In October 2001 and April 2002, two purported class action suits (Wise v. Travelers and Meninger v. Travelers) were filed against Travelers Property Casualty Corp. (TPC) and other insurers (not including The St. Paul Companies, Inc. (SPC)) in state court in West Virginia. These and other cases subsequently filed in West Virginia were consolidated into a single proceeding in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia. The plaintiffs allege that the insurer defendants engaged in unfair trade practices in violation of state statutes by inappropriately handling and settling asbestos claims. The plaintiffs seek to reopen large numbers of settled asbestos claims and to impose liability for damages, including punitive damages, directly on insurers.  Similar lawsuits alleging inappropriate handling and settling of asbestos claims were filed in Massachusetts and Hawaii state courts.  These suits are collectively referred to as the Statutory and Hawaii Actions.

In March 2002, the plaintiffs in consolidated asbestos actions pending before a mass tort panel of judges in West Virginia state court amended their complaint to include TPC as a defendant, alleging that TPC and other insurers breached alleged duties to certain users of asbestos products.  The plaintiffs seek damages, including punitive damages. Lawsuits seeking similar relief and raising similar allegations, primarily violations of purported common law duties to third parties, have also been asserted in various state courts against TPC and SPC. The claims asserted in these suits are collectively referred to as the Common Law Claims.

The federal bankruptcy court that had presided over the bankruptcy of TPC’s former policyholder Johns-Manville Corporation issued a temporary injunction prohibiting the prosecution of the Statutory Actions (but not the Hawaii Actions), the Common Law Claims and an additional set of cases filed in various state courts in Texas and Ohio, and enjoining certain attorneys from filing any further lawsuits against TPC based on similar allegations. Notwithstanding the injunction, additional common law claims were filed against TPC.

In November 2003, the parties reached a settlement of the Statutory and Hawaii Actions.  This settlement includes a lump-sum payment of up to $412 million by TPC, subject to a number of significant contingencies. In May 2004, the parties reached a settlement resolving substantially all pending and similar future Common Law Claims against TPC.  This settlement requires a payment of up to $90 million by TPC, subject to a number of significant contingencies.  Among the contingencies for each of these settlements is a final order of the bankruptcy court clarifying that all of these claims, and similar future asbestos-related claims against TPC, are barred by prior orders entered by the bankruptcy court (“the 1986 Orders”).

On August 17, 2004, the bankruptcy court entered an order approving the settlements and clarifying that the 1986 Orders barred the pending Statutory and Hawaii Actions and substantially all Common Law Claims pending against TPC (“the Clarifying Order”). The Clarifying Order also applies to similar direct action claims that may be filed in the future.

On March 29, 2006, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York substantially affirmed the Clarifying Order while vacating that portion of the order that required all future direct actions against TPC to first be approved by the bankruptcy court before proceeding in state or federal court.

Various parties appealed the district court’s March 29, 2006 ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.  On February 15, 2008, the Second Circuit issued an opinion vacating on jurisdictional grounds the District Court’s approval of the Clarifying Order.  On February 29, 2008, TPC and certain other parties to the appeals filed petitions for rehearing and/or rehearing en banc, requesting reinstatement of the district court’s judgment, which were denied.  TPC and certain other parties filed Petitions for Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Second Circuit’s decision, and on December 12, 2008, the Petitions were granted.

On June 18, 2009, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of TPC, reversing the Second Circuit’s February 15, 2008 decision, finding, among other things, that the 1986 Orders are final and generally bar the Statutory and Hawaii actions and substantially all Common Law Claims against TPC.  Further, the Supreme Court ruled that the bankruptcy court had jurisdiction to issue the Clarifying Order.  However, since the Second Circuit had not ruled on certain additional issues, principally related to procedural matters and the adequacy of notice provided to certain parties, the Supreme Court remanded the case to the Second Circuit for further proceedings on those specific issues.  On October 21, 2009, all but one of the objectors to the Clarifying Order requested that the Second Circuit dismiss their appeal of the order approving the settlement, and that request was granted.

On March 22, 2010, the Second Circuit issued an opinion in which it found that the notice of the 1986 Orders provided to the remaining objector was insufficient to bar contribution claims by that objector against TPC. On April 5, 2010, TPC filed a Petition for Rehearing and Rehearing En Banc with the Second Circuit, requesting further review of its March 22, 2010 opinion, which was denied on May 25, 2010.  On August 18, 2010, TPC filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari in the United States Supreme Court seeking review of the Second Circuit’s March 22, 2010 opinion, and a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus seeking an order from the Supreme Court requiring the Second Circuit to comply with the Supreme Court’s June 18, 2009 ruling in TPC’s favor. The Supreme Court denied the Petitions on November 29, 2010.

The plaintiffs in the Statutory and Hawaii actions and the Common Law Claims actions filed Motions to Compel with the bankruptcy court on September 2, 2010 and September 3, 2010, respectively, arguing that all conditions precedent to the settlements have been met and seeking to require TPC to pay the settlement amounts.  On September 30, 2010, TPC filed an Opposition to the plaintiffs’ Motions to Compel on the grounds that the conditions precedent to the settlements, principally the requirement that all contribution claims be barred, have not been met in light of the Second Circuit’s March 22, 2010 opinion.  On December 16, 2010, the bankruptcy court granted the plaintiffs’ motions and ruled that TPC was required to fund the settlements.  On January 20, 2011, the bankruptcy court entered judgment in accordance with its December 16, 2010 ruling and ordered TPC to pay the settlement amounts plus prejudgment interest. On January 21, 2011, TPC filed an appeal with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York from the bankruptcy court’s January 20, 2011 judgment.  On January 24, 2011, certain of the plaintiffs in the Common Law Claims actions appealed that portion of the bankruptcy court’s January 20, 2011 judgment that denied their request for an order of contempt and for sanctions.  The appeals are pending.

SPC, which is not covered by the Manville bankruptcy court rulings or the settlements described above, is a party to pending direct action cases in Texas state court asserting common law claims.  All such cases that are still pending and in which SPC has been served are currently on the inactive docket in Texas state court.  If any of those cases becomes active, SPC intends to litigate those cases vigorously.  SPC was previously a defendant in similar direct actions in Ohio state court. Those actions have all been dismissed following favorable rulings by Ohio trial and appellate courts.  From time to time, SPC and/or its subsidiaries have been named in individual direct actions in other jurisdictions.

Outcome and Impact of Asbestos and Environmental Claims and Litigation.  Currently, it is not possible to predict legal outcomes and their impact on the future development of claims and litigation relating to asbestos and environmental claims. Any such development will be affected by future court decisions and interpretations, as well as changes in applicable legislation. Because of these uncertainties, additional liabilities may arise for amounts in excess of the current related reserves. In addition, the Company’s estimate of ultimate claims and claim adjustment expenses may change. These additional liabilities or increases in estimates, or a range of either, cannot now be reasonably estimated and could result in income statement charges that could be material to the Company’s results of operations in future periods.

Other Proceedings Not Arising Under Insurance Contracts or Reinsurance Agreements

Broker Anti-Trust Litigation — In 2005, four putative class action lawsuits were brought against a number of insurance brokers and insurers, including the Company, by plaintiffs who allegedly purchased insurance products through one or more of the defendant brokers.  The plaintiffs alleged that various insurance brokers conspired with each other and with various insurers, including the Company, to artificially inflate premiums, allocate brokerage customers and rig bids for insurance products offered to those customers. To the extent they were not originally filed there, the federal class actions were transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings with other class actions under the caption In re Insurance Brokerage Antitrust Litigation. On August 1, 2005, various plaintiffs, including the four named plaintiffs in the above-referenced class actions, filed an amended consolidated class action complaint naming various brokers and insurers, including the Company, on behalf of a putative nationwide class of policyholders. The complaint included causes of action under the Sherman Act, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), state common law and the laws of the various states prohibiting antitrust violations. The complaint sought monetary damages, including punitive damages and trebled damages, permanent injunctive relief, restitution, including disgorgement of profits, interest and costs, including attorneys’ fees.  All defendants moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim.  After giving plaintiffs multiple opportunities to replead, the court dismissed the Sherman Act claims on August 31, 2007 and the RICO claims on September 28, 2007, both with prejudice, and declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over the state law claims. The plaintiffs appealed the district court’s decisions to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. On August 16, 2010, the Third Circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal of all Sherman Act and RICO claims against certain defendants, including the Company, except for Sherman Act and RICO claims involving the sale of excess casualty insurance through a single defendant broker, as well as all state law claims, which they remanded to the district court for further proceedings. On October 1, 2010, defendants, including the Company, filed renewed motions to dismiss the remanded claims.  On March 18, 2011, the Company and certain other defendants entered into an agreement with the plaintiffs to settle the lawsuit. The settlement, under which the Company agreed to pay $6.75 million, is subject to court approval.  Preliminary approval of the settlement was granted on June 27, 2011, and a final fairness hearing is scheduled for September 14, 2011.

Other — In addition to those described above, the Company is involved in other lawsuits, including lawsuits alleging extra-contractual damages relating to insurance contracts or reinsurance agreements, that do not arise under insurance contracts or reinsurance agreements.  Based upon currently available information, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that any such lawsuit or related lawsuits would be material to the Company’s results of operations or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity.

Gain Contingency

On August 20, 2010, in a reinsurance dispute in New York state court captioned United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company v. American Re-Insurance Company, et al., the trial court granted summary judgment for the Company, and on October 25, 2010, entered judgment awarding the Company $251 million plus pre-judgment interest in the amount of $169 million.  United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company is a subsidiary of the Company.  The $251 million awarded by the court represents the amount owed to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements and is reported as part of reinsurance recoverables in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The interest awarded by the Court is treated for accounting purposes as a gain contingency in accordance with FASB Topic 450, Contingencies, and accordingly has not been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Post-judgment interest continues to accrue at the rate of 9 percent (without compounding) on the total judgment of $420 million.  The judgment, including the award of interest, was appealed to the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, and oral argument occurred on May 10, 2011. The parties await a ruling from the Appellate Division.

Commitments

Investment Commitments — The Company has unfunded commitments to private equity limited partnerships and real estate partnerships in which it invests.  These commitments totaled $1.24 billion and $1.26 billion at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Guarantees

The Company has contingent obligations for guarantees related to letters of credit, issuance of debt securities, certain investments, third-party loans related to certain investments, certain insurance policy obligations of former insurance subsidiaries, and various indemnifications, including those related to the sale of business entities.  The Company also provides standard indemnifications to service providers in the normal course of business.  The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms.  Certain of these guarantees and indemnifications have no stated or notional amounts or limitation to the maximum potential future payments, and, accordingly, the Company is unable to develop an estimate of the maximum potential payments for such arrangements.  At June 30, 2011, the maximum amount of the Company’s obligation for guarantees of certain investments and third-party loans related to certain investments that are quantifiable was $84 million, approximately $40 million of which is indemnified by a third party.  The maximum amount of the Company’s obligation related to the guarantee of certain insurance policy obligations of a former insurance subsidiary was $480 million, all of which is indemnified by a third party.

In the ordinary course of selling business entities to third parties, the Company has agreed to indemnify purchasers for losses arising out of breaches of representations and warranties with respect to the business entities being sold, covenants and obligations of the Company and/or its subsidiaries following the closing, and in certain cases obligations arising from undisclosed liabilities, adverse reserve development, imposition of additional taxes due to either a change in the tax law or an adverse interpretation of the tax law, or certain named litigation.  Such indemnification provisions generally survive for periods ranging from two years following the applicable closing date to the expiration of the relevant statutes of limitations, although, in some cases, there may be other agreed upon term limitations or no term limitations.  Certain of these contingent obligations are subject to deductibles which have to be incurred by the obligee before the Company is obligated to make payments.  The maximum amount of the Company’s contingent obligation for indemnifications related to the sale of business entities that are quantifiable was $1.35 billion at June 30, 2011, of which $10 million was recognized on the balance sheet at that date.

Gain contingency	On August 20, 2010, in a reinsurance dispute in New York state court captioned United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company v. American Re-Insurance Company, et al., the trial court granted summary judgment for the Company, and on October 25, 2010, entered judgment awarding the Company $251 million plus pre-judgment interest in the amount of $169 million. United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company is a subsidiary of the Company. The $251 million awarded by the court represents the amount owed to the Company under the terms of the reinsurance agreements and is reported as part of reinsurance recoverables in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The interest awarded by the Court is treated for accounting purposes as a gain contingency in accordance with FASB Topic 450, Contingencies, and accordingly has not been recognized in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Post-judgment interest continues to accrue at the rate of 9 percent (without compounding) on the total judgment of $420 million. The judgment, including the award of interest, was appealed to the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department, and oral argument occurred on May 10, 2011. The parties await a ruling from the Appellate Division.

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies disclosure [Text Block]

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Travelers Companies, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company). These financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and are unaudited.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been reflected.  Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, but that is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been omitted.  All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 consolidated financial statements and notes to conform to the 2011 presentation.  The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and claims and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts

In October 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance to address diversity in practice for the accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts.  This guidance modifies the definition of acquisition costs to specify that a cost must be directly related to the successful acquisition of a new or renewal insurance contract in order to be deferred.  If application of this guidance would result in the capitalization of acquisition costs that had not previously been capitalized by a reporting entity, the entity may elect not to capitalize those costs.

The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2012.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Creditors’ Evaluation of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring

In April 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance to clarify whether a modification or restructuring of a receivable is considered a troubled debt restructuring, i.e., whether the creditor has granted a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  A modification or restructuring that is considered a troubled debt restructuring will result in the creditor having to account for the receivable as being impaired and will also result in additional disclosure of the creditors’ troubled debt restructuring activities.  The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ending September 30, 2011 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.

The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Transfers and Servicing

In April 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance related to the accounting for repurchase agreements and other agreements that entitle and obligate a transferor to repurchase or redeem financial assets before their maturity.  The updated guidance eliminates the criteria to assess whether a transferor must have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets in order to demonstrate effective control over the transferred asset.   Transferors that maintain effective control over a transferred asset are required to account for the transaction as a secured borrowing rather than a sale.  The updated guidance is effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2012.  The updated guidance applies to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date.  The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued updated guidance to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by eliminating the option of presenting components of comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The updated guidance requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either as a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The updated guidance is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for the quarter ending March 31, 2012.  Early adoption is permitted.

The updated guidance will result in a change in the presentation of the Company’s financial statements but will not have any impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

Nature of Operations

The Company is organized into three reportable business segments: Business Insurance; Financial, Professional & International Insurance; and Personal Insurance.  These segments reflect the manner in which the Company’s businesses are currently managed and represent an aggregation of products and services based on type of customer, how the business is marketed and the manner in which risks are underwritten.  The specific business segments are as follows:

Business Insurance

The Business Insurance segment offers a broad array of property and casualty insurance and insurance-related services to its clients primarily in the United States. Business Insurance is organized into the following six groups, which collectively comprise Business Insurance Core operations: Select Accounts; Commercial Accounts; National Accounts; Industry-Focused Underwriting; Target Risk Underwriting; and Specialized Distribution.

Business Insurance also includes the Special Liability Group (which manages the Company’s asbestos and environmental liabilities) and the assumed reinsurance and certain international and other runoff operations, which collectively are referred to as Business Insurance Other.

Financial, Professional & International Insurance

The Financial, Professional & International Insurance segment includes surety and financial liability coverages, which primarily use credit-based underwriting processes, as well as property and casualty products that are primarily marketed on a domestic basis in the United Kingdom, Canada and the Republic of Ireland, and on an international basis through Lloyd’s.  The segment includes Bond & Financial Products as well as International.

On June 17, 2011, the Company acquired 43% of the common stock of J. Malucelli Participações em Seguros e Resseguros S.A, a Brazilian company (“JMalucelli”).  JMalucelli is currently the market leader in surety in Brazil based on market share.  The Company’s investment in JMalucelli will be accounted for using the equity method and is included in “other investments” on the consolidated balance sheet.

Personal Insurance

The Personal Insurance segment writes virtually all types of property and casualty insurance covering personal risks. The primary coverages in Personal Insurance are automobile and homeowners insurance sold to individuals.
