The investable funds associated with the line of business are composed of which items?

Investable funds for a line of business are the cash amounts that are effectively available to be invested after accounting for future obligations and line-specific allocations. The mean net loss & LAE reserves plus the mean unearned premium reserve (UEPR) represent funds set aside to cover future claims and unearned premiums, so they are part of what can be invested. Subtracting the mean net agents’ balances removes cash that is currently due to agents and not available for investment. Adding the ceded reinsurance premiums payable and allocated PHS reflects amounts linked to the line that are allocated or owed but still ultimately available within the line’s resources. This combination captures the typical way investable funds are measured for a line of business.
