In 2005, the Company appointed 58 new agency partners. Each year the Company terminates its relationship with some agencies. On occasion the Company has had to either terminate or suspend several fast growing but unprofitable agencies, as has been the case within the Company’s nonstandard segment, but for the most part, an overwhelming number of the terminated agencies are usually those that have very little premium with the Company. The average premium for the agencies terminated in 2005 was $16,000.

Particularly valued were the staff’s knowledge, politeness and helpfulness. This same centre was also featured on the BBC’s Watchdog programme as a rare positive example of excellent customer service after a claim was settled in phenomenal time: “ Wow! I could not believe that anyone could be that efficient… One hour and forty three minutes from initial call to final settlement. I will be staying with John Lewis for some time.”

Summit, the workers’ compensation insurance business that AFG acquired in April 2014, collects fees from a small group of unaffiliated insurers for providing underwriting, policy administration and claims services. In addition, certain of AFG’s property and casualty businesses collect fees from customers for ancillary services such as workplace safety programs and premium financing. In the fourth quarter of 2015, AFG collected $16 million in fees for these services. Management views this fee income, net of the $10 million in expenses incurred to generate such fees, as a reduction in the cost of underwriting its property and casualty insurance policies. Consistent with internal management reporting, these fees and the related expenses are netted and recorded as a reduction of commissions and other underwriting expenses in AFG’s segmented results. Beginning with the first quarter of 2015, these fees are shown in other income and the related expenses are shown in other expenses in AFG’s Statement of Earnings.

The Supervisory Board discussed at length the evaluation of the performance of the Executive Board and whether or not to award variable pay. In light of the public debate about bonuses, it was decided not to award any short-term variable pay over 2010 and to formulate a new remuneration policy that will govern the Executive Board’s long-term variable remuneration. The guiding principles of this policy will be to reduce the variable pay component and to position the Executive Board’s overall remuneration just below the median of the Financial Services benchmark. This change was fleshed out in 2011 and agreed with NLFI, the shareholder. The policy was submitted to the Dutch Minister of Finance for approval early in 2012.

The remaining reduction in health benefits expense incurred during the year, related to prior years, of approximately $74.0 million, $50.9 million and $23.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, primarily resulted from obtaining more complete claims information for claims incurred for dates of service in the prior years. We refer to these amounts as net reserve development. We experienced lower medical trend than originally estimated due to moderating medical trends lower than previously estimated and to claims processing initiatives that yielded increased claim payment recoveries and coordination of benefits in 2010, 2009 and 2008 related to prior year dates of services for all periods. These factors also caused our actuarial estimates to include faster completion factors than were originally established. The faster completion factors contributed to the net favorable reserve development in each respective period.

At December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, the carrying value of the Company's investment portfolio (total investments less investment in affiliates) was $948 million, $876 million and $797 million, respectively, on which was earned $53.4 million, $50.6 million and $47.5 million in those years, respectively, excluding $2.4 million, $.7 million and $4.0 million of net realized capital gains in those years, respectively. The increase in investments resulted principally from cash flows from operations generated during the period. As of December 31, 1998, the Company held approximately $50.8 million and $5.5 million in short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents, respectively, to meet liquidity needs.

The IBNR component of total medical claims liability is based on our historical claims data, current enrollment, health service utilization statistics, and other related information. Estimating IBNR is complex and involves a significant amount of judgment. Accordingly, it represents our most critical accounting estimate. The development of the IBNR includes the use of standard actuarial developmental methodologies, including completion factors and claims trends, which take into account the potential for adverse claims developments, and considers favorable and unfavorable prior period developments. Actual claims payments will differ, however, from our estimates. A worsening or improvement of our claims trend or changes in completion factors from those that we assumed in estimating medical claims liabilities at December 31, 2010 would cause these estimates to change in the near term and such a change could be material.

In addition, Risk Management proposes risk capacity limits to ensure compliance with overall risk appetite and risk tolerance criteria. The risk capacity limits represent an aggregated constraint to risk-taking and seek to ensure that Group-wide accumulation risks remain within acceptable levels. They allow for risk monitoring and hence also for risk controlling during the execution of the plan. In addition to the risk capacity limits proposed by Risk Management, the Group EC also sets operational limits, which the business monitors and controls in day-to-day management.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, Ceridian entered into a memorandum of understanding to resolve claims brought by a putative class of U.S. Fueling Merchants. Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding, which will need to be finalized in a definitive settlement agreement and approved by the Court, Ceridian has agreed to make a one-time cash payment of $100 million as part of a $130 million global settlement with other defendants in the lawsuit, and to provide certain prospective relief with respect to specific provisions in its merchant agreements. This settlement will provide Ceridian and affiliated companies with a broad release of claims and will limit their exposure to legal claims by merchants. We estimate our portion of the settlement to be approximately $32 million, which will be recorded by us in the first quarter of 2014 as a result of our three-month lag in accounting for the results of operations of Ceridian.

Historically, most asbestos claims have been asserted as product liability claims. Recently, insureds who have exhausted the available products liability limits of their insurance policies have sought from insurers such as OneBeacon payment for asbestos claims under the premises and operations coverage of their liability policies, which may not be subject to similar aggregate limits. OneBeacon expects this trend to continue. However, to date there have been fewer of these premises and operations coverage claims than product liability coverage claims. This may be due to a variety of factors, including that it may be more difficult for underlying plaintiffs to establish losses as stemming from premises and operations exposures, which requires proof of the defendant’s negligence, rather than products liability under which strict legal liability applies. Premises and operations claims may vary significantly and policyholders may seek large amounts, although such claims frequently settle for a fraction of the initial alleged amount. Accordingly, there is a great deal of variation in damages awarded for the actual injuries. As of December 31, 2012, there were approximately 379 active claims by insureds against OneBeacon without product liability coverage asserting operations or premises coverage, which may not be subject to aggregate limits under the policies.

Various Federal and state laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry do or may impact the Company's current and planned operations, including, without limitation, Federal and state laws prohibiting kickbacks in government health programs (including TennCare®), Federal and state antitrust and drug distribution laws, and a wide variety of consumer protection, insurance and other state laws and regulations. While management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with all existing laws and regulations material to the operation of its business, such laws and regulations are subject to rapid change and often are uncertain in their application. As controversies continue to arise in the healthcare industry (for example, regarding the efforts of Plan Sponsors and pharmacy benefit managers to limit formularies, alter drug choice and establish limited networks of participating pharmacies), Federal and state regulation and enforcement priorities in this area can be expected to increase, the impact of which on the Company cannot be predicted. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be subject to scrutiny or challenge under one or more of these laws or that any such challenge would not be successful. Any such challenge, whether or not successful, could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position and results of operations. Violation of the Federal anti-kickback statute, for example, may result in substantial criminal penalties, as well as exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid (including TennCare®) programs. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain any of the regulatory approvals that may be required to operate its business, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, pricing sources apply available market information through processes such as matrix pricing to calculate fair value. Such prices generally consider a variety of factors, including recent trades of the same and similar securities. In those cases, the items are classified within Level 2. For those fixed income investments where quotes were not available or cannot be reasonably corroborated, fair values are based on internal valuation models. Key inputs to the internal valuation models generally include maturity date, coupon and yield curves for asset-type and credit rating characteristics that closely match those characteristics of the specific investment securities being valued. Items valued using valuation models are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable. Longer (shorter) expected maturities or higher (lower) yields used in the valuation model will, in isolation, result in decreases (increases) in fair value. Generally, lower credit ratings or longer expected maturities will be accompanied by higher yields used to value a security. At December 31, 2019, approximately 4%, 94%, and 2% of the fixed income investment portfolio (excluding variable interest entity investments) was valued using dealer quotes, alternative pricing sources and internal valuation models, respectively. At December 31, 2018, approximately 8%, 90%, and 2% of the fixed income investment portfolio (excluding variable interest entity investments) was valued using dealer quotes, alternative pricing sources and internal valuation models, respectively.

quarter, we review the loss ratio selections and the emerged loss experience to determine if deviating from the loss ratio method is appropriate. In general, we continue to use the loss ratio method until the end of the accident year, at which time we begin to assign weight to the paid and incurred BF methods depending on the line of business being evaluated. The BF methods compute IBNR through a blend of the expected loss ratio method and traditional loss development methods. The BF methods estimate IBNR for an accident year as the product of expected losses (earned premium multiplied by an expected loss ratio) plus an expected percentage of unreported losses. The expected percentage of unreported losses is derived from age-to-ultimate loss development factors that result from our analyses of loss development triangles. As accident years mature to the point at which the reported loss experience is more credible, we assign increasing weight to the paid and incurred loss development methods.

Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments: In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance requiring that an acquirer recognize adjustments to estimated amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined. In the same period’s financial statements, the acquirer is required to record income effects of the adjustments as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The acquirer is also required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the estimated amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The amendment is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

The Company is continuously involved in numerous lawsuits arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of business, either as a liability insurer defending third-party claims brought against its insureds, or as an insurer defending coverage claims brought against it by its policyholders or other insurers. While the outcome of all litigation involving the Company, including insurance-related litigation, cannot be determined, litigation is not expected to result in losses that differ from recorded reserves by amounts that would be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. In addition, reinsurance recoveries related to claims in litigation, net of the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance, are not expected to result in recoveries that differ from recorded receivables by amounts that would be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

differences are permanent such as expenses that are not deductible in our tax return, and some differences are temporary, reversing over time, such as valuation of insurance reserves. Temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in future years for which we have already recorded the tax benefit in our income statement. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized in our financial statements for which payment has been deferred, or expenditures for which we have already taken a deduction in our tax return but have not yet recognized in our financial statements. The application of GAAP requires us to evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets and establish a valuation allowance if necessary to reduce our deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Realization of certain deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction prior to the expiration of the carry-forward periods. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances, will be realized.

The most commonly used swaps are interest rate swaps, currency swaps, equity swaps and swaptions. Such derivatives are traded over the counter. An interest rate swap is a contract between two parties to exchange interest rate payments (typically a fixed interest rate versus a variable interest rate) calculated on a notional principal amount for a specified period of time. The notional amount is not exchanged. Currency and equity swaps are similar to interest rate swaps but may involve the exchange of principal amounts at the commencement and termination of the swap. Swaptions are options where the holder has the right but not the obligation to enter into a swap transaction or cancel an existing swap transaction.
