The earnings of Australian-listed insurance companies are likely to be affected by low interest rates and bond yields. Investment income accounts for around 40 per cent of QBE Insurance Group’s profits, compared with 25 per cent in the case of Insurance Australia Group (IAG) and Suncorp. IAG CEO Mike Wilkins says most of the company’s insurance book comprises "short tail risk".
