Mortgage-backed securities total $11.9 billion, are rated predominantly AAA and comprise 25% of the fixed income portfolio. This compares to a 37% mortgage-backed weighting in representative indices of the U.S. fixed income market. The minimum rating for initial purchases of mortgage-backed securities is AAA.

 

Securities issued by Federal agencies with implied or explicit government guarantees total $9.1 billion and represent 87% of the residential mortgage-backed portfolio.

 

Non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities are backed by prime collateral, and broadly diversified in over 240,000 loans. The portfolio’s loan-to-value ratio is approximately 70% with an average FICO score of 730. With this conservative loan-to-value ratio and subordinated collateral of 13%, the cumulative 5-year foreclosure rate would have to rise to 20% and real estate values would have to fall 19% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The current foreclosure rate of ACE’s non-agency RMBS portfolio is 9%.

 

Commercial mortgage-backed securities of $1.5 billion are rated predominantly AAA, broadly diversified with over 18,500 loans and seasoned with 85% of the portfolio issued before 2006. The average loan-to-value ratio is approximately 66% with a debt service coverage ratio in excess of 1.7 and weighted average subordinated collateral of 33%. The cumulative foreclosure rate would have to rise to 41% and commercial real estate values would have to fall more than 10% from their current levels before principal is impaired. The current foreclosure rate of the portfolio is about 2%.

U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Fixed Income Portfolio

 

The average credit quality of ACE’s US investment grade bond portfolio is very high at AA.

 

ACE prohibits investments in complex structured securities (e.g. CDOs, CLOs) and over-the-counter derivatives and does not permit the use of portfolio leverage.

 

Corporate bond holdings are highly diversified across industries and geographies. Issuer limits are based on credit rating (AA 2%, A 1%, BBB 0.5% of total portfolio) and are monitored on a daily basis by ACE via an internal compliance system.

ACE manages high yield bonds as a distinct and separate asset class from investment grade bonds. ACE’s allocation to high yield bonds is explicitly set by internal management and is targeted to securities in the upper tier of credit quality (BB/B). Our minimum rating for initial purchase is BB/B.

 

Five external investment managers are responsible for high yield security selection and portfolio construction.

 

ACE’s high yield managers have a conservative approach to credit selection and very low historical default experience.

 

Securities holdings are highly diversified across industries and are subject to a 1.5% issuer limit as a percentage of high yield allocation. The portfolio comprises over 500 issuers with our largest current issuer exposure at $78 million. ACE monitors position limits on a daily basis through an internal compliance system.

 

Derivative and structured securities (e.g. credit default swaps, CLOs) are not permitted in high yield portfolios.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(in millions of U.S. dollars)

Regulation G - Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In presenting our results, we have included and discussed certain non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures, which may be defined differently by other companies, are important for an understanding of our overall results of operations. However, they should not be viewed as a substitute for measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). A reconciliation of book value per common share is provided on the next page.

 

In presenting our segment operating results, we have shown our performance with reference to underwriting results. Underwriting results are calculated by subtracting losses and loss expenses, policy benefits, policy acquisition costs, and administrative expenses from net premiums earned. We use underwriting results and operating ratios to monitor the results of our operations without the impact of certain factors, including investment income, other income and expenses, interest and income tax expense, and net realized gains (losses).

 

The following non-GAAP measure is a common performance measurement and is defined as income excluding net realized gains (losses) and the related tax expense (benefit). We believe this presentation enhances the understanding of our results of operations by highlighting the underlying profitability of our insurance business. We exclude net realized gains (losses) and net realized gains (losses) included in other income (expense) related to partially owned entities because the amount of these gains (losses) is heavily influenced by, and fluctuates in part according to, the availability of market opportunities. Income excluding net realized gains (losses) should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP.
