		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, employee benefits provider Delphi Financial Group Inc. (DFG) announced a quarterly dividend of 12 cents, marking a single cent increase from the previous quarter. The new dividend, representing a 9% hike from the previous quarterly dividend, is payable on June 8, 2011 to shareholders of record as of May 25, 2011. With an increased annual dividend of 48 cents per share, Delphi ’s dividend yield stands at 1.6%. Delphi has been consistently increasing dividends since its initiation of dividend payment in 2001. The company has hiked its annual dividend by an average of 16.7% over the past five years. Delphi’s balance sheet solidity is derived from its long-tail and stable group insurance liability. Its low debt-to-capital ratio, which currently stands at 18%, also accounts for its inherent strength. Delphi had an excellent result for ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on the shares of Delphi Financial Inc. (DFG) following the release of fourth quarter 2010 results. Delphi’s fourth quarter earnings were a dime ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate, aided by favorable underwriting and investment results. We believe its subsidiary Safety National, a leader in Excess Workers’ Compensation, will show a strong growth going forward, based on rates hike and self-insured retention increase at the outset of the year. Safety National is expanding its leading position in providing coverage to self-insureds. Its market share increased to 25% in 2009 from 22% in 2008. It has increased premiums at a CAGR of 6% from 2006 to 2010. Management expects an attractive market for the Excess Workers’ Compensation based on positive trends in January 2011 renewals, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Tuesday, Aegon NV (AEG) stated that it will consider options to dispose its US-based life reinsurance unit Transamerica Re and restructure its business in the UK, as it intends to realign and enhance focus in its core businesses. The proposed sale of Transamerica will help Aegon shed its investment risk in its U.S. variable annuity business, while shifting its focus to fee-based products from spread-based products and expanding the pensions business. In addition, it will help reallocate capital to growth markets and seek opportunities in Central and Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America. Since its acquisition in 1999, Transamerica has been credited with helping Aegon become a leading life reinsurer in the United States and internationally. However, Aegon believes that Transamerica cannot support Aegon’s core activities over the longer period ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reinsurance Group of America (RGA) is slated to release first quarter 2010 earnings on April 27, 2010, before the opening bell. We expect the company’s earnings for 2010 to benefit from the acquisition of ReliaStar, which will further increase the company’s market share in North American Markets. Negatives offsetting the earnings will be unfavorable mortality trends and higher interest obligation due to $400 million of debt issued in November. Management views a stable life reinsurance environment in 2010 and expects operating income to lie in the range of $6.30 to $6.90 per share, up from $5.98 reported in 2009. Favorable pricing trends and strong international growth potential are expected to fuel consolidated premium growth of approximately 15%, with return on equity (ROE) ranging between 13% and 14%.

The company is expected to grow at the rate of 7–9% in traditional North American markets going forward. Reinsurance Group’s international expansion also insulates it from earnings volatility.
