a Frank. know broadly still And, becomes see KBW best Adam. wish the Good your say bit. there corporate are rate re-commentary increasingly forward you if to to a it’s do are on would adequate? looking feel book we're getting to been rates before rate pretty tax you maybe The mostly few that think But positive more need would adequate morning, areas at hike it's and you and likely? rates We in you be has been impacted going to how

J. Adam Abram

look see business in many that loss of been developed years ratio. been the citing if XX we've you mean, developed the was and experience years, for quoted history I LAE that adequately well, at priced the, fully that think running that our in you mean, worth ratio, Yes, loss think I LAE of XX.X% I rates, look we've I historic we

historic heavily margin.

inflation dollars being already exposed where So, we're not that's and felt. that million is we've really not to -- been first the social

harbinger think of I helping, good are was results. I that margin. our part part the rate so, the it's they It think these for really increases this, And future are And expanding second I question? think second missed your a

Sean Reitenbach

further momentum would that tax corporate hike how think rate might might rate? affect, you accelerate Just rate

J. Adam Abram

part one of, taxes on are just equity. Well, of just are the return part tangible look, taxes one

reader, increase and margins. a or see they're if have to better but to than probably very is greater higher, than make maintain site, I we'll rates, rates we crystal they're we'll all to in probably in what corporate ball at that we our tax think terms will not, focused. I'm a of whole individually look hike have will the The same the in be, industry to sure industry that respond face I

tremendous you If to the in there's industry industry, the board, U.S. an CEOs a seeing margin. just get as do commentary on P&C see across from emphasis the we have what to that you're
