<abstract displayLabel="Summary">Fitch Ratings expects little change in U.S. life insurers full-year 2011 operating returns compared with 2010. Annualized average operating return on assets, which excludes all realized gains and losses, was 1.29% at the end of the first half compared with 1.31% for full-year 2010. These results are in line with 2009 returns but are well below 2008 and earlier returns in the 1.50%-1.80% range. Fitch anticipates it will be some time before U.S. life insurers profitability returns to precrisis levels</abstract>
