<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Commercial mortgage loan performance for U.S. life insurers favorably exceeded Fitch Ratings expectations in terms of realized losses in 2010 and troubled mortgages in investment portfolios at Dec. 31, 2010. Based on an analysis of recent loss experience and a nascent recovery in the commercial real estate market, Fitchs concern over the industrys loss exposure to mortgage loans has moderated. Approximately 99.6% of mortgage loans held by U.S. life insurance companies were in good standing at Dec. 31, 2010, a level similar to year-end 2009. Fitch believes that mortgage loan performance has benefited from increased liquidity and continued low interest rates</abstract>
