“Additionally, our insurance engine generated strong cash flows for our investments engine while remaining intensely focussed on navigating current insurance market dynamics and shaping our portfolio for long-term value creation.
“This quarter stands as yet another example that we can go a lot further and faster on our road to build one of the world’s great companies with three engines instead of just one.”
