Moreover, the insurance solutions business showcased impressive results, with a focus on enhancing investment returns through strategic redeployment of short-duration investments. The company expects significant earnings growth with upcoming acquisitions.
The operating businesses segment demonstrated resilience and growth, as evidenced by increased cash distributions and net operating income (NOI).
