These excerpts taken from the ALL 10-Q filed May 7, 2009.
Net investment income decreased 26.8% or $126 million to $344 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $470 million in the first quarter of 2008.  The decrease was due to lower average asset balances reflecting dividends paid by Allstate Insurance Company (“AIC”) to its parent, The Allstate Corporation (the “Corporation”), and capital contributions to Allstate Life Insurance Company (“ALIC”) and reduced portfolio yields.

 

Net investment income decreased 19.3% or $196 million to $819 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $1.02 billion in the same period of 2008.  This decline was primarily due to lower investment yields on floating rate securities, increased short-term investment balances reflecting liquidity management activities, lower investment balances and lower income from limited partnership interests.

(1)   Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008, income from EMA LP is reported in realized capital gains and losses.  EMA LP income for periods prior to the fourth quarter of 2008 is reported in net investment income.  The amount of EMA LP income included in net investment income was $44 million in the first quarter of 2008.

 

Net investment income decreased 22.9% or $350 million to $1.18 billion in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $1.53 billion in the first quarter of 2008.  This decline is due to lower investment yields from decreased market interest rates, carrying a greater amount of short-term investments in connection with tactically positioning greater liquidity, decreased average investment balances resulting mostly from reduced Allstate Financial contractholder funds, lower funds associated with security lending, lower income on limited partnership interests and decreased dividends on equity securities.

 

During the first quarter of 2009, our fixed income portfolio continued to generate significant cash flows from maturities, principal and interest receipts totaling $2.07 billion which was consistent with amounts due.  These cash flows will be available to take advantage of market opportunities and manage liabilities.

Total investment expenses decreased $35 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008.  The decrease was primarily due to lower expenses associated with a lower amount of collateral received in connection with securities lending transactions.  The average amount of collateral held in connection with securities lending was $296 million in the first quarter of 2009 compared to $3.56 billion in the first quarter of 2008, as a result of actions to reduce our securities lending balances.

This excerpt taken from the ALL 10-Q filed Nov 6, 2008.
Net investment income decreased 13.7% and 9.9% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2007. The declines were primarily due to lower investment yields on floating rate securities, increased short-term investment balances reflecting liquidity management, lower average investment balances, and valuation losses on limited partnership interests accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

 

This excerpt taken from the ALL 10-Q filed Aug 6, 2008.
Net investment income decreased 12.4% and 7.9% in the second quarter and first six months of 2008, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2007. The declines were primarily due to lower investment yields on floating rate assets, lower yields on increased short-term investment balances held to offset reduced liquidity in some asset classes and the maturity of institutional markets funding agreements, and lower investment balances reflecting dividends paid by Allstate Life Insurance Company (“ALIC”) in 2007.

This excerpt taken from the ALL 10-Q filed Oct 31, 2007.
Net investment income increased 2.2% in the third quarter and 3.1% in the first nine months of 2007 compared to the same periods of 2006. The increase in both periods was primarily due to increased partnership income and increased portfolio yields, including on floating rate instruments. For certain products, the yield changes on our floating rate instruments are primarily offset by changes in crediting rates to holders of our floating rate contracts, resulting in minimal impact on our gross margin.

 

This excerpt taken from the ALL 10-Q filed Aug 1, 2007.
Net investment income increased 2.7% in the second quarter and 3.6% in the first six months of 2007 compared to the same periods of 2006.  The increase in both periods was primarily driven by increased investment yields and higher average portfolio balances.  The higher portfolio yields were primarily due to increased yields on floating rate instruments and, to a lesser extent, improved yields on fixed rate assets. For certain products, the yield changes on our floating rate instruments are primarily offset by changes in crediting rates to our floating rate contractholders resulting in minimal impact on our gross margin.  Higher average portfolio balances resulted primarily from the investment of operating cash flows.

Net investment income increased 4.6% in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 due mostly to increased investment yields and higher average portfolio balances in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in the prior year.  The higher portfolio yields were primarily due to increased yields on floating rate instruments and, to a lesser extent, improved yields on fixed rate assets supporting deferred fixed annuities.  For certain products, the yield changes on our floating rate instruments pass to our floating rate contractholders through changes in crediting rates with minimal impact on our gross margin.  Higher average portfolio balances resulted
