Average investment yield increased to 4.65% in the second quarter compared with 4.42% in the prior-year period due to higher new money rates.

The effective tax rate for the quarter was 24.3% on pre-tax income, slightly above the expected range of 23% to 24%, primarily related to income earned in non-U.S. jurisdictions.

Our Asia Traditional and Financial Solutions businesses had a very good quarter, and our U.S. Traditional and EMEA Financial Solutions areas also performed well. We had a solid quarter of in-force transactions, with $307 million of capital deployed. Additionally, we continued to see good momentum in organic new business activity.

“Our balance sheet remains strong, and we ended the quarter with excess capital of approximately $1.0 billion. Based on favorable business conditions and RGA’s global leadership position, we are optimistic about the future and expect to continue to deliver attractive financial results over time.”
