The Allstate Corporation 2022 PAGE 13 Enterprise Risk and Return Management Impacts Investment Allocations (1) Fixed income duration includes interest rate derivative positions. Corporate bond yield reflects intermediate maturity sourced from Bloomberg Situation (Q4 2021) • Fiscal stimulus and supply chain issues result in significant increases in used car prices, dramatically reducing auto insurance margins • Yields close to multi-decade lows • Economic assessment is that inflation is not transitory, and we expected the Fed would tighten monetary policy by raising rates • Higher interest rates would reduce the value of the fixed income portfolio, but also increase future investment income Objective • Limit the negative impact of inflation on enterprise results to auto insurance to the greatest extent possible • Accept lower current investment income from the fixed income portfolio to reduce the negative impact of higher interest rates on portfolio valuations • Position the portfolio to increase investment income should interest rates increase Actions • Shortened fixed income portfolio duration(1) from 4.6 to 3.2 beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021 through cash sales and interest rate futures • Overall asset class allocations remained unchanged Outcome • Annualized investment income declined roughly $50 million • Value of the fixed income portfolio declined, but by approximately $800 million less due to portfolio duration reduction • Value of the futures position has also increased by $470 million at June 30, 2022 • If interest rates stay at current levels investment income expected to increase by $125 to $150 million in 2023 vs 2022, assuming normal portfolio turnover • Every additional 100 basis points of higher fixed income yield would generate $400 million of investment income when fully reflected in portfolio yields 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 Dec-19 Jun-20 Dec-20 Jun-21 Dec-21 Jun-22 Fixed Income Duration Bloomberg Int.
