What it stands on, and what could break it

What the business leans on

1Most U.S. policies are sold through independent agents and brokers, so maintaining those relationships and distribution channels matters to reaching customers.
2State and other insurance regulators oversee rates, policy forms, licensing and business practices; rules can limit how quickly Travelers changes prices or adjusts coverage.
3Travelers buys reinsurance to limit some large losses, but remains responsible to its policyholders if a reinsurer fails to pay.
4Its insurance businesses depend on estimates of future claim costs and on investment income from the premiums held before claims are paid.

What could go wrong

1Hurricanes, wildfires, hail, severe storms and other catastrophes can create large, concentrated claim costs; reinsurance may not cover all losses or remain available at affordable prices.
2If claims and the costs of handling them exceed Travelers’ estimates, including because of inflation, court decisions or changes in injury and liability claims, its reserves may prove insufficient.
3Travelers continues to face asbestos claims and related lawsuits, which can produce costs that are difficult to estimate and may continue over time.
