demonstrate a low correlation to equity and
interest rate markets - TEPs have exhibited strong and stable returns in
both high and low inflationary environments - The re-structure of life office with-profits
funds, distributions of inherited estates,
re-attributions, de-mutualisation or other
arrangement may signify generous windfalls for

performing quite well and the bonuses received by
policyholders are much higher. -

kind as they allow investors to earn the highest
bonuses and also offer stable annualised returns
... - The TEP market is far more buoyant now than it
was a decade or two ago. -
- Ellen Kelleher from the Financial Times, May 2008
- Insurers have also taken steps to de-risk their
balance sheets, reducing their - equity exposure and more closely matching their
assets to their policyholder - guarantees, which further protects them against
market volatility - Fitch Ratings, March 2008

accrued over the decades as a financial cushion
