IntroductionThis report provides data and analysis on the U.S. Excess and Surplus (E&S) lines industry. State lawspermit a special class of unlicensed insurers (a.k.a. non-admitted companies) to insure certain distressed,unique or hard to place risks not generally available through licensed or admitted insurers. All aspects ofthe transaction are handled by the licensed surplus lines broker, who negotiate and place the business.Regulations are focused on the surplus lines brokers as opposed to the non-admitted companies. Mostof the E&S business is written by non-admitted companies. However, there are some cases wherecompanies will write business on both an admitted and non-admitted basis, but typically not in the samestate. Illinois is the only state that allows a domiciled company to write on a non-admitted basis.

Lloyd’s of London (Lloyd’s) is also a significant writer of E&S business in the U.S. Lloyd’s writes on anon-admitted basis in all U.S. states and territories except Kentucky and the U.S. Virgin Islands whereLloyd’s is licensed. In 2010, Lloyd’s wrote approximately $5.8 billion of E&S business or approximately21% of the total $28.0 billion U.S. E&S market.

When analyzing the U.S. E&S market, there are two significant data limitations

1. There is limited data available on the business written by Lloyd’s2. It is not possible to extract and dissect the small amount of E&S business written by admitted

carriers, as not all the data is available by line and by state

To overcome these data limitations, Aon Benfield has established the U.S. Surplus Lines Writers (USLW)composite.

About the USLW

The USLW is an Aon Benfield defined composite of 118 U.S. property and casualty insurance companies

that predominantly wrote E&S business in 2010. The composite was developed by aggregating the direct

written premiums from each state and the District of Columbia where the company operated as an E&S

writer, as identified by the licensing status from Schedule T, Part 1 of the company's 2010 Annual

Statement. If the total amount of E&S premium to total premium was greater than 80 percent, we

included the company in the composite. We made one exception for Allied World Assurance, a company

that writes predominantly E&S business, but less than 80 percent. We also eliminated any company that

wrote less than $7 million in E&S business. Finally, all Risk Retention Groups, Reciprocal insurance

companies and Lloyd’s were eliminated from the composite. By definition, the USLW excludes admitted

carriers that write a small amount of E&S business.

By analyzing the underwriting results of the USLW, the underlying trends of the E&S market are revealed

and can be compared against other commercial lines or the entire P&C industry.

Note: Commercial lines in this report include the following lines of business: Aircraft, Allied lines, Boiler & Machinery, Burglary &

Theft, Commercial Auto, CMP, Credit, Earthquake, Excess Workers. Compensation, Fidelity, Financial Guaranty, Fire, Inland

Marine, Medical Professional liability, Mortgage Guaranty, Ocean Marine, Other Liability, Product Liability, Surety, Warranty,

Workers’ Compensation & Aggregate Write-ins

U.S. Excess and Surplus Lines Market

U.S. Premium Volume

The U.S. E&S market totaled $22.3 billion (excluding Lloyd’s) of direct written premiums (DWP) in 2010,

which accounted for five percent of the overall U.S. P&C industry.

USLW All Other E&S Co's

As of 2Q 2011, E&S lines DWP has increased 1.3 percent as compared to 2Q 2010

The amount of business written by E&S carriers has declined since 2006

Some of this decline is due to the economic downturn and the lack of catastrophes impacting E&Sbusiness

– The decline in E&S business has been attributed to the economic downturn which typicallyimpacts E&S lines (e.g. construction and real estate) greater than other commercial and personallines

– Also, U.S. catastrophes have not impacted rates to the same extent as other lines of business

However, a significant portion of the decline is also due to the fact that many admitted carriers arenow writing what was traditionally E&S business

The chart above appears to show the decline in E&S business at almost 3 times the rest of the P&Cindustry. However, some of the decline is actually due to the fact that E&S business is now beingwritten by admitted carriers

USLW All Other E&S Co's Lloyd's E&S

The amount of E&S business written by Lloyd’s is larger than the amount written by any U.S P&Cgroup

In, 2010, Lloyd’s wrote approximately $5.8 billion of E&S business or approximately 21% of the total$28.0 billion U.S. E&S market

Since 2006, Lloyd’s premiums have decreased at a much slower pace than the USLW, 3% vs. 25%

Lloyd’s share of some E&S lines, e.g. Marine & Energy, Aviation & General Liability has increased

Lloyds maintains several trust funds in the U.S. to facilitate their underwriting of E&S business

– Lloyd’s Dollar Trust Fund – Effectively the syndicates’ working capital fund for U.S. dollarpremiums since 1 August 1995

– Surplus Lines Trust Fund (SLTF) is held on a syndicate year of account basis to cover U.S. grossclaim liabilities for E&S business. Funds of 30% of gross liabilities have to be deposited on aquarterly basis. The SLTF was established in August 1995 to give U.S. policyholders comfortover the payment of their liabilities

Wisconsin’s elevated direct loss ratio, which was the highest in the U.S. in 2010, was driven byincurred losses in Other Liability, Claims-Made & Credit

– Credit combined for less than 18 percent of Wisconsin’s E&S direct earned premium, butcontributed over 50 percent of the incurred losses

Vermont had the lowest direct loss ratio in 2010, which was driven by a significant drop in incurredlosses (36.5%: 2009 vs. 1.3%: 2010) in Other Liability, Claims-Made

On a direct basis, E&S underwriting results remain more profitable

In 2010 on a net basis, E&S business is roughly in line with U.S. P&C Industry

For the past five years the commercial USLW net combined ratio has been better than the U.S. P&CIndustry

– USLW’s five year average was 9.6 percentage points below the U.S. P&C industry (88.2% vs.97.8%

USLW’s direct and net loss ratio has followed the industry for the past five years, but has been moreprofitable

Direct commissions on E&S business remain higher then on non-E&S business. However, historically theE&S companies had a lower direct and net U/W expense ratio. Over the past 5 years this gap hasdecreased to where the USLW U/W expenses ratios are in line with the U.S. industry.

Stems from the fact that while premiums and commissions on E&S business are down the fixed costcomponents, e.g. Acquisition Cost and General Expenses, have not decreased in step

Regulatory Update

In 2010 Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act, which contains many financial regulatory reforms and

measures. Subtitle B, Title V of Dodd-Frank specifically addresses the insurance industry. This section is

titled the Non-Admitted and Reinsurance Reform Act (NRRA), and went into effect in July 2011.

The “Non-Admitted” part of the NRRA was established to simplify the regulation, taxation and licensing for

surplus lines brokers. As part of the NRRA, a “Home State” will be established for surplus lines broker.

The purpose of designating a Home State is to eliminate the confusion and regulatory conflicts between

state regulations. The “Home State” is defined as follows:

State of the insured’s principal place of business for single insured

Principal place of business of the member of the affiliated group that has the largest percentage ofpremiums attributed to it

Key Benefits of the NRRA

Tax payments can be made to a single Home State

Only one producer’s license will be required from the insured’s Home State

Brokers will be required to only comply with the placement laws of the insured’s Home State

Certain exempt purchasers may directly access the surplus lines market without the “diligent search”requirement

Creates a national insurance producer registry
