Kev Matasari's questions to Travelers Companies Inc (TRV) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Kev Matasari questioned if the elevated level of share repurchases was a new baseline or linked to market volatility. He also asked if relaxing property restrictions in Personal Lines meant relaxing the underwriting balance between property and auto business.
Answer
CFO Dan Fry clarified that buybacks are for rightsizing capital, not market timing, and that proceeds from the Canada sale are not yet available. Michael Klein, President of Personal Insurance, reiterated that the goal is to shift the portfolio mix toward auto, and relaxing property restrictions is intended to support writing more packaged business.
