Performance-based Investments Generate Excellent Returns But Create Income Volatility

  • Performance-basedinvestments optimize risk adjusted returns
    • Appropriately matched to liabilities (e.g. payout annuities) and capital
    • Broadens overall portfolio diversification and provides idiosyncratic returns
    • Highly diversified portfolio
      • Variety of asset classes (e.g. private equity, real estate, infrastructure) and geographies
      • Multiple investment approaches: Limited partnerships,co-investments, direct investments
  • Performance-basedinvestments create quarterly investment income volatility but higher total returns than fixed income portfolio
    • Valuation of two limited partnerships were reduced by $74 million in the fourth quarter of 2019

Allstate Life and Benefits Generate Attractive Returns; Allstate Annuities Impacted by Lower Performance-based Income

  • Allstate Life adjusted net income of $76 million increased $7 million to prior year quarter driven by higher net investment income and lower operating costs and expenses
  • Allstate Benefits adjusted net income of $16 million was $10 million lower than the prior year quarter, largely due to thewrite-off of acquisition costs related to the non-renewal of a large underperforming account
  • Allstate Annuities adjusted net loss of $33 million in the fourth quarter, driven by lower performance- based income
