Context and risks
CNA's insurance business has long duration in its investment portfolio; the rise in 10-year yields (5.17%) pressures fixed-income asset values and makes liabilities more expensive. However, this is offset by higher yields on new investments, and the holding's diversification into pipelines (Boardwalk) benefits from the energy environment.
