So let's go back to David Flandreau

for the aggregate view.
25:38
One of the first things that we see when we look at the reinsurance market is that economic value added spread is close to even.
25:45
And this is actually the return on invested capital minus the weighted average cost of capital.
25:49
You have to measure it this way.
25:51
No good using return on capital employed.
25:53
No good doing the equity spread.

David Flandreau has been quite vocal on this question
13:30
so we've talked a lot um about property yeah um are you seeing kind of similar trends in in the specialty casualty lines
13:38
So, yeah, casualty is a whole other kettle of fish, and we can talk about that for an hour if you want to.
13:45
It's a highly diversified class.
13:47
I mean, when people talk about casualty, what are they really talking about? There must be 50 different lines of business or something in casualty.
13:55
But broadly, U.S. casualty is one thing in terms of reinsurance.
14:03
London market casualty excess of loss is probably another thing.
14:06
Workers' compensation is a completely different thing.
18:16
are you seeing that feeding into the reinsurance market going to 1.1?
