According to the report on P&C 2015 results, titled “U.S. P/C Industry Marks Third Consecutive Underwriting Gain, but Surplus Declines on Investment Results,” P&C net income fell 11.4% in 2015 to $56 billion, net premiums written and net premiums earned were each down 3.4% to $519 billion and $509.8 billion respectively, realized capital gains were down 14.2% to $10.3 billion and underwriting income fell 40.1% to $6.2 billion.
