U.S. life insurers’ average annualized 2011 operating returns, excluding all realized gains and losses, came in at 1.29% at the end of the first half of 2011, according to Fitch Ratings. This compares to a gain of 1.31% for the full year 2010. The results are in line with 2009 returns, though well below 2008 and prior years’ returns in the 1.50% to 1.80% range.
