FM Global Annual Report 2012 5
B
y all key measures, 2012 was a very
successful year. Financially, we
achieved all our objectives, both
in our insurance operations and in the
performance of our investments. Client
retention remained very high, and 2012
was one of our best years yet for attract-
ing new business. We accomplished all
of this despite the impact of Superstorm
Sandyour single largest net aggregate
natural disaster loss to date.
In simple terms, our in-force premium
grew by 8.6 percent, our combined ratio
was below 86 percent and our surplus
grew 14.9 percent to US$7.9 billion.
These outstanding results reinforce the
strength of our mutual business model,
our balance sheet and our unique focus
on working with our clients to ensure the
resiliency of their businesses.
Review of 2012
We continued to enhance our products and
services to better serve our clients evolv-
ing property risk management needs. At
the same time, we focused on being more
effective with our time and resources.
We achieved signifcant risk improve-
ment, a key to our long-term success. In
cooperation with our policyholders, we
exceeded our plans to implement human
element and overall physical improve-
ments. Most importantly, our policyhold-
ers will have installed sprinklers in an
additional 46 million square feet (4.3 mil-
lion square meters) of existing facilities.
Our response to Superstorm Sandy re-
inforced the strength of our natural
catastrophe readiness. In this single event,
we responded to approximately 2,200
claims. Our claims and engineering
teams acted quickly and effciently to get
our clients back into operation despite
the extreme challenges associated with
weather, lack of electrical power, trans-
portation disruption and fuel shortage.
We continued to perform well in the
timely delivery of our insurance prod-
uct. Despite the complexity of property
insurance policies, 71 percent of our poli-
cies were delivered before the effective
date of the contract, and 95 percent within
40 days.
A major achievement was the develop-
ment of Affliated FM Online, which will
be introduced to our middle-market clients
in 2013. This new extranet technology
platform will strengthen our relationship
with broker partners and clients, and it will
serve as the foundation for the next genera-
tion of FM Globals extranet, MyRisk

.
In another key initiative, we expanded the
scope and use of the SimZone, our state-
of-the-art training facility in Norwood,
Mass., USA. In this unique setting, our en-
gineers gain hands-on experience in a vari-
ety of learning areas that simulate property
hazards and real-world scenarios. In 2013,
we plan to open the SimZone to our clients
so that they also may take advantage of this
powerful learn-by-doing method.
Lastly, we have taken our knowledge,
data and research expertise and combined
it with current technologies, models and
analytics. The results have led to major
strides in risk assessment, risk improve-
ment and client services. We believe this
combination has tremendous potential for
process improvement in the future.
Executive Message
Overall, our consolidated in-force premium grew by 8.6 percent
to US$5.5 billion, the most growth weve attained since 2006.
6 FM Global Annual Report 2012
We also continued to receive third-party
recognition of our products and services.
The readers of Business Insurance maga-
zine named FM Global the top commer-
cial property insurer for service, expertise
and overall performance. For the second
consecutive year, Greenwich Associates
ranked us number one for underwriting
expertise, customer service and claims
processing responsiveness. And, Global
Finance magazine named us the worlds
best supply chain risk insurance provider.
2012 Premium Trends
From an industry perspective, after a
string of extreme worldwide natural
disasters, coupled with subpar investment
returns in 2011, the insurance market-
place fully expected pricing, terms and
conditions of the commercial insurance
marketplace to improve in 2012. How-
ever, the lack of signifcant insured
natural disasters and improved equity
markets in the frst half of the year damp-
ened those expectations. Superstorm
Sandy, which seemed to surprise the
markets with the scope and breadth of
its impact, caused the marketplace to re-
vert to the environment that existed at the
beginning of the year.
Our consolidated gross in-force premium
(excluding new business and net of lost
business) grew by 2.1 percent, a favor-
able result refecting the strength of our
client relationships. Given the relatively
challenging economic conditions in
Europe, premium growth from existing
clients was greater in North America.
The strength of our product offerings
was refected in our success with new
business acquisitions. Premium in force
from new client relationships grew by 6.5
percent, making this a standout year for
new business. These results, too, were
more successful in North America than in
Europe. Overall, our consolidated in-
force premium grew by 8.6 percent to
US$5.5 billion, the most growth weve
attained since 2006.
Affliated FM, positioned in the com-
mercial property middle market, grew 9.7
percent to US$976 million. Correspond-
ingly, our large commercial property
business grew at a slightly slower rate,
climbing 8.2 percent to US$4.3 billion.
Combined, our middle market and large
property lines represent 97 percent of
our overall consolidated premium, with
Mutual Boiler Re and FM Global Cargo
representing the balance.
Consolidated net premium earned grew
to US$3.6 billion, or 5.2 percent, when
compared with 2011 results that exclude
the effect of the 2011 membership credit.
Loss Trends
Our loss ratio for 2012 was 60.6 percent,
signifcantly lower than our 95.9 percent
loss ratio in 2011, but higher than in 2010
and 2009.
The loss ratio from natural disasters and
aggregations was 29.3 percent versus 52.3
percent in 2011, when we incurred one
of the highest totals for both frequency
and severity of insured losses from natu-
ral disasters in our history. Nevertheless,
Superstorm Sandy, accounting for 12.3
FM Global Annual Report 2012 7
loss ratio points, has become our single
largest aggregate net lossgreater than
Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the World
Trade Center disaster on Sept. 11, 2001.
More signifcantly, three of our largest
net aggregate natural disasters occurred
in 2011 and 2012. Superstorm Sandy was
predominantly a food event for our clients
affected by the powerful storm, and it oc-
curred in known food-prone areas. Based
on a review of our losses, our food assess-
ment, mitigation and risk-transfer process-
es remain the same.
Our risk loss ratio compared very favor-
ably with last year at 27.7 percent versus
39.6 percent. Risk losses are predomi-
nantly from fre and explosion. The fre-
quency of large losses stayed the same,
but the average size of the loss was less
severe. The majority of risk losses con-
tinue to occur at unsprinklered locations
and disproportionately outside of North
America. Working cooperatively with our
clients to achieve risk improvement re-
mains a top priority. This is matched by
our long-term goal of greater regulatory
recognition of the benefts of property
conservation and the role of fre sprin-
klers in building codes and standards.
Expense Trends
As a provider of knowledge-based ser-
vices in a commodity marketplace, we
make it a priority to deliver high-quality
services while carefully managing our
expense ratio. Our expense ratio of 25.1
percent remained fat from 2011 and was
slightly higher when 2011 is adjusted for
the membership credit issued that year.
2012 was the frst full year of our for-
mal companywide process improvement
effort, led by a dedicated business pro-
cess improvement team. The team was
successful in establishing a systematic
approach to evaluating and improving
important processes in the company. One
of the keys to this success was the active
involvement of all the key stakeholders
of the process under review. We are very
optimistic that this will result in tangible,
permanent productivity gains while im-
proving our effectiveness.
Employee Trends
In 2012, we conducted an all-employee
survey with a response rate of 88 percent,
up from 82 percent in 2007, and an ex-
cellent participation rate by any measure.
Most gratifying was the level of conf-
dence and optimism our employees have
about the future of FM Global, our busi-
ness environment and our approach with
our customers. As with the 2007 survey,
we will develop action plans to address
the issues raised in the survey.
Our strong employee survey participation
rate refected our low, stable turnover rate
of 6 percent, coupled with average em-
ployee tenure of 14 years. The key to our
success is a combination of a stable group
of motivated employees and the avail-
ability of specifc training programs. In
2012, employees completed 9,000 days
of classroom training at an average cost
of US$1,500 per employee. In addition,
employees completed more than 38,000
hours of online training.

Investments and Surplus
Our investment portfolio performed very
well. Both our equity and fxed income
portfolios exceeded their respective
benchmarks. The total portfolio returned
10.11 percent versus the benchmark
of 9.45 percent. Asset allocation was
stable, with an emphasis on liquidity.
These investment results, coupled with
our underwriting results, helped to in-
crease the surplus by 14.9 percent to
US$7.9 billion. Both A.M. Best and
Fitch reaffrmed our ratings at A+
and AA, respectively.
Governance
As a mutual company owned by our
policyholders, we value the governance
by our directors, eight advisory boards
and fve risk management executive
councils. We are thankful for their loyal
support. Graham Spanier, retired presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania State University,
resigned from our board in July 2012. We
thank him for his contributions.
Looking Ahead
The majority of our mutual policyhold-
ers are growing largely in locations out-
side their home countries and espe-
cially in the Asia/Pacifc region. Since
2008, insured locations measured by
their insured values grew 30 percent in
that region versus less than 3 percent in
the rest of the world. To better support
this growth rate and the needs of our
policyholders, we have created an Asia/
Pacifc division based in Singapore,
similar to our operating structure in
Europe and North America. We will be
building on our capabilities and expertise
in that region.
Our focus continues to be on develop-
ing and delivering effcient and effective
risk improvement solutions to our
policyholders across the world, while
providing stable risk-transfer solutions
that are compliant with local regulatory
requirements.
The dedication of our employees and
their commitment to our policyhold-
ers across the world are integral to our
success. We are deeply grateful for their
efforts. In 2013, we will be celebrating
50 years of providing global capabilities
to our clients, and we look forward to
continuing this tradition for many years
to come.
Financially, we achieved all our objectives, both in our
insurance operations and in the performance of our investments.

Corporate executives are taking a more active role in property risk manage-
ment. Changes in the global business landscape, the sharp increase in natural
catastrophes and the magnitude of supply chain risk have captured the atten-
tion of governing boards and the investment community. Physical risk is now
embedded in a complex manufacturing and distribution web, where every
strand is likely to lead to another interdependency and greater vulnerability.
When a property loss event occurs, the result may be costly to a companys
reputation, to its competitive advantage and to shareholder and customer
condence. In the following pages, senior leaders from four multinational
corporations discuss this changing dynamic at their organizations. We thank
them and their companies for their participation.

The cost of risk
improvement is marginal
when compared with the
cost of an expected loss.
Per Thorn, Group Treasurer
FM Global Annual Report 2012 13
O
ne way we protect our business
continuity at SKF is through
oversight provided by our internal
loss prevention board, whose members
include senior managers from all our
business areas. Thanks to the efforts of
this group, we have made signifcant
gains in risk improvement.
Globally, our biggest challenge was to
build a common understanding of what
is an acceptable level of riskbecause
the interpretation of risk severity can vary
from one location to the next. We have ad-
dressed this by working with FM Global
to establish a companywide policy that
defnes our risk tolerance level.
Education is a main driver of the policy.
For instance, we are educating employ-
ees on what I call the zero-costor hu-
man elementissues that require very
little capital investment and strengthen
our risk management competency. Fur-
thermore, our risk management team has
codifed our loss prevention standards.
To ensure these standards are adopted
universally, we have dedicated an inter-
nal engineering consultant to oversee
risk quality of new construction, includ-
ing all greenfeld sites, whether we are
building in Shanghai, India or Korea. For
example, our policy clearly states that
every greenfeld site is to be sprinklered.
What we know, through such vehicles as
FM Globals business impact analysis,
is that the cost of risk improvement is
marginal when compared with the cost
of an expected loss, particularly when
assessing supply chain vulnerability. By
putting it in such transparent terms, we
create a true awareness of risk.
At SKF, we hold our strategic suppliers
to the same standards we apply to our-
selves. FM Global is helping us by con-
ducting engineering visits at key supplier
locations. We dont hesitate to insist our
major suppliers improve their risk qual-
ity if necessary. It is a pragmatic business
decision for us, and for them.
By the same measure, our customers are
interested in what we are doing to prevent
loss. Our larger customers visit our plants
to verify we are meeting their criteria.
They cannot afford to have an interrup-
tion in their stream of goods. Their busi-
ness continuity depends on our reliability.
The standards we have in place help to
ensure our reliability is never in doubt.

A
s a provider of innovative supply
chain solutions, we recognize that
our customers expect more today.
They want us to help them anticipate
problems and proactively propose cre-
ative solutions to solve them. They want
us to share our expertise to help them
increase their fexibility and ensure
on-time delivery. Our strategy to drive
speed, fexibility and responsiveness
through our supply chain is critical to
our business and enables us to meet our
customer commitments in the event of
a disruption.
To minimize the risk of supply chain dis-
ruption, we diligently assess risks and
take action. Our policies and procedures
refect best practices on how to protect
our global sites, monitor our business
partners and respond to emergencies.
There is value in highly protected risk
(HPR) sites. Maintaining HPR status is
a competitive differentiator and demon-
strates our commitment to fawless
execution.
There are two ways to manage risk: you
can adopt good risk management prin-
ciples and you can transfer risk through
insurance. We focus on the former to
minimize the size and cost of the latter.
The program we have with FM Global
contributes to the success of our strategy.
Not only does FM Global help us with
risk assessments and improvements at
our current facilities, but they also assist
us with site selection and in the construc-
tion of new facilities.
The FM Global platform helps Celestica
identify what and where the risks are,
how they can be improved and how we
can educate the people in our network
on managing risk. By following this
course, we have already avoided poten-
tially steep food losses at a key location,
while reassuring our customers that due
diligence has been done on all new sites,
and that we will meet their expectations
for on-time delivery.

W
e cannot afford to have a long-
term disruptionits not an
option for a global company
operating in a very competitive market-
place. Thats why weve put together
comprehensive business continuity plans
for our major sites and business units. We
realize that lost production equates to lost
sales, and I am not aware of any company
that can afford lost sales.
At Cooper, risk mitigation is built into
our planning process. We need world-
class facilities to remain competitive and
meet our long-term goals. It wasnt always
viewed this way. For many years, deci-
sions about insurance and risk manage-
ment were made entirely at the corporate
level, with no input from the operations.
That all changed with a merger that
nearly doubled the size of our com-
pany in 2005. We forged our relationship
with FM Global that same year.
And in certain respects, FM Global was
a game changer for us because they
provide insight and guidance to ensure
we are protecting our assets to the best
of our ability.
The transition is now complete. The
concept of loss prevention is now part
of our DNA. Operations management
are thinking about risk mitigation when
theyre doing their planning. During the
last two years, we also created an inter-
nal risk committee that has helped our
various business units understand the
importance of a robust business continu-
ity plan and how it can be the most vital
document you turn to when placed in the
path of a hurricane or in the aftermath of
an earthquake. Our board of directors and
executives are equally committed to pro-
tecting our assets, and their support has
been tremendous.
about asset protection
There is a pervasive spirit of partner-
ship within our organization and with
FM Global. Among the advantages of
working with FM Global are its stabil-
ity as a mutual company and the vast
array of resources it brings to loss pro-
tection. We ask FM Global to put on our
business hat and view the risk from our
vantage point. They have gone to great
lengths to get to know our people and our
business. Its led to strong communica-
tion and the understanding that we are in
this together.

FedEx
L
ongevity and reliability are the cor-
nerstones of our relationship with
FM Global. Our working relation-
ship began in 1981, when FedEx was
much smaller than the US$43 billion
multinational enterprise it is today. As
FedEx has grown and become more com-
plex, FM Globals ability to support and
grow along with us has been invaluable.
A main attribute we provide to our cus-
tomers is access to the global economy.
We participate in supply chain and in
logistics fulfllment all around the world.
Continuity and reliability are fundamen-
tal to the promise we make to customers.
Consistently delivering on that promise is
fundamental to our mission, and has made
FedEx one of the most admired compa-
nies in the world. For us, its a question of
how to plan in advance to mitigate the im-
pact of disruptionswhich, in our busi-
ness, are inevitableand how to react
and adapt effectively during the events.
At the macro level, were always design-
ing resiliency into our global networks.
FM Globals role is to help us make sure
we are less vulnerable in terms of the
impact an event may have on our facili-
ties, particularly the major hub and sort
facilities around the world. Thats where
you can see the real tangible results of
our relationship.
A visible example is our Asia/Pacifc hub
in Guangzhou, China, one of our larg-
est hubs outside the United States. That
facility, which opened in 2009, is the cen-
ter point of our operations in the region.
It is also a model facility for property
protection. Working collaboratively on
design aspects and construction planning
with FM Global, we were able to take
an approach in China that mirrored our
approach in the United States. The result
was the development of a highly pro-
tected risk facility that will help us to
protect our people, our assets and our
brand. That is the brand promise we make,
and FM Global helps us to keep it.

Investment Report
Global stock and bond markets performed well in 2012, despite lackluster global economic expansion and
political uncertainties. Two primary factors drove the markets move higher. First, aggressively accommodative
monetary policy in the U.S. and Europe resulted in downward pressure on interest rates, beneting nancial
asset valuation and economic expansion potential. Second, corporate prots and cash ow have remained a
positive factor, enabled by productivity gains and effective management of costs. The primary challenge remains
the scal imbalances in the U.S. and Europe, with government debt levels generally viewed as unsustainably
high, and the need for tax increases/spending cuts a potential depressant to economic activity.
FM Globals investment positions and returns by asset class are shown on page 27. Return on total assets was
10.11 percent compared to the benchmark return of 9.45 percent. Relative outperformance was achieved in
both the stock and bond categories. There was some offset from a relatively high cash balance, held partly as a
conservative funding source for operating cash outows due to the high natural catastrophe losses experienced
in 2011.
Return on FM Globals equity portfolio was 17.05 percent, compared to a 16.00 percent return in the S&P 500 and a
16.10 percent return on the equity benchmark (a blend of 89 percent S&P 500 and 11 percent MSCI world ex. U.S.).
The outperformance was the result of moderate overweights in some of the less defensive sectors of the market
(a positioning which detracted from returns in the risk-averse market of 2011). Specically, results beneted from
overweighted positions in technology and in the banking sector, along with an underweighted position in defen-
sive electric utilities. The primary negative sector exposure was a moderate overweight to the energy sector,
which underperformed due to lower energy commodity prices, which in turn reected supply factors including
improved natural gas production technologies.
Turning to the debt securities portfolio, FM Globals internally managed high-grade debt portfolio returned 5.50
percent versus the Barclays index benchmark return of 4.40 percent. Outperformance was driven by an over-
weight to non-U.S. government debt sectors, which beneted from tighter interest rate spreads. Similar to
sentiment change in the equity market, investor sentiment in xed income also became somewhat more opportu-
nistic in 2012, compared to the very risk-averse attitude which characterized 2011. This shift is also apparent in the
16.48 percent return of the externally managed high-yield debt portfolio. As is generally the case, FM Globals xed
income duration was a neutral factor (with the internal portfolio duration at 4.1 years, very close to the benchmark
4.2 years), reecting the ongoing strategy of value added through bottom-up security and sector positioning.
In addition to providing functional support to FM Globals business operations, the real estate group manages
4.6 million ft. (430,000 m) of investment properties. These real property assets provide an additional element
of portfolio diversication. They also provide a cost-effective approach in meeting FM Globals ongoing real estate
needs, while enhancing the value of its properties. For 2012, commercial properties produced $86.7 million in
revenue and $25.1 million in cash ow.

Managements Statement on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of FM Global is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
nancial reporting and for the preparation and integrity of the accompanying nancial statements and other
related information in this report. The consolidated nancial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, in-
cluding the footnotes, were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and include judgments and estimates, which, in the opinion of management, are applied on
an appropriately conservative basis. The Company maintains a system of internal and disclosure controls intend-
ed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded from loss or material misuse, that transactions
are authorized and recorded properly, and that the accounting records may be relied upon for the preparation of
the nancial statements. This system is tested and evaluated regularly for adherence and effectiveness by the
Companys staff of internal auditors.
The audit committee of the Board of Directors, which comprises directors who are not employees of the Company,
meets regularly with management and the internal auditors to review the Companys nancial policies and
procedures, its internal control structure, the objectivity of its nancial reporting, and the independence of the
Companys independent public accounting rm. The internal auditors have free and direct access to the audit
committee, and they meet periodically, without management present, to discuss appropriate matters.
Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over nancial reporting may not prevent or detect
misstatements and even when determined to be effective, can only provide reasonable assurance with respect
to nancial statement preparation and presentation.
These consolidated nancial statements are subject to an evaluation of internal control over nancial reporting
conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive ofcer
and chief nancial ofcer. Based on that evaluation, conducted under the criteria established in Internal Control
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission,
management concluded that its internal control over nancial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Policyholders of
Factory Mutual Insurance Company and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated nancial statements of Factory Mutual Insurance Company and
Subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011,
and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss), changes in policyholders
surplus, and cash ows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated nancial statements.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these nancial statements in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal
control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of nancial statements that are free of material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these nancial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the nancial statements are free of material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the nancial
statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the nancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments,
the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the nancial state-
ments in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
signicant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
nancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the nancial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
nancial position of Factory Mutual Insurance Company and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and
the consolidated results of their operations and their cash ows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (in thousands)
December 31, 2012 and 2011
Note 1. Signicant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated nancial statements are stated in U.S. dollars and have been prepared on the basis of U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, which differ in some respects from statutory accounting practices
prescribed or permitted by the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Department of Business Regula-
tion, Insurance Division. On the basis of statutory accounting practices, consolidated policyholders surplus was
$7,525,100 and $6,431,600 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively; net income/(loss) for the respective
years then ended was $712,300 and $(32,100).
The process of preparing nancial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
requires the use of managements estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of
the nancial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
The Company provides comprehensive lines of property coverage and supporting services for industrial and
institutional properties throughout the world.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated nancial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
All signicant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassication
Certain amounts reported in the 2011 nancial statements and disclosures have been reclassied to conform
to the 2012 presentation.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of various sweep accounts with a maturity of less than 90 days at acquisition.
Investments
Management determines the appropriate classication of debt securities at the time of purchase. All equity and
debt securities are classied as available-for-sale and are stated at fair value.
The amortized cost of debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity,
or in the case of mortgage and asset-backed securities, over the estimated life of the security adjusted for anticipated
prepayments. This amortization and accretion is included in investment-related income. For mortgage and asset-
backed xed maturity securities, the Company recognizes income using a constant effective yield based on antici-
pated prepayments over the economic life of the security. The mortgage and asset-backed portfolio is accounted for
under the retrospective method and prepayment assumptions are based on market expectations. When actual
prepayments differ signicantly from anticipated prepayments, the effective yield is recalculated to reect actual
payments to date and anticipated future payments, and any resulting adjustment is included in investment-related
income.
Other securities consist primarily of partnerships and alternative investments, which are accounted for under the
equity method. As a result of the timing of the receipt of valuation data from the investment managers, these
investments are reported on up to a three-month lag. Changes in the Companys equity in the net assets of these
investments are included in income as net realized investment gains.

December 31, 2012 and 2011
Note 1. Signicant Accounting Policies (continued)
The cost of securities sold is based upon the specic identication method. Unrealized appreciation or depreciation
of available-for-sale debt and equity securities, net of tax, is reported directly in policyholders surplus.
Impairments in equity securities deemed to be other than temporary are reported as a component of net income/
(loss) before income taxes. Impairments in debt securities deemed to be other than temporary are segregated into
credit risk and non-credit risk impairments. Credit risk impairments are reported as a component of net income/(loss)
before income taxes. Non-credit risk impairments are recognized in other comprehensive income. Securities are
reviewed for both quantitative and qualitative considerations in the calculation of impairments.
Under a securities lending program with an agent, the Company has temporarily loaned certain debt securities.
Borrowers of these securities must deposit with the agent an amount of cash and/or securities equal to 102 percent
of the loaned securities fair value for US currency-denominated securities or 105 percent of the loaned securities
fair value for foreign-denominated securities. The portion of collateral received in securities is held in trust by the
agent. The portion of collateral received in cash is invested by the agent in high-quality, short-term investments. The
Company continues to receive the interest on the loaned debt securities as a benecial owner, and the loaned debt
securities are included in the investment portfolio of the Company. The cash collateral and the obligation to return
that collateral are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Income Taxes
The Company les consolidated U.S. and foreign income tax returns as required by law. The income tax expense/
(benet) is based upon pretax income reported in the consolidated nancial statements. Deferred income taxes are
provided, when appropriate, for the effects of temporary differences in reporting income and expenses for tax and
nancial reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes are also provided for unrealized appreciation or depreciation of
investments, for pension and postretirement liabilities and for foreign currency translations.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has reviewed the Companys federal tax returns for the 2005 through 2009
tax years and some issues remain unsettled. Additionally, the IRS is currently reviewing the Companys federal tax
returns for the 2010 and 2011 tax years. Any adjustments that might result from the IRS examination of these income
tax returns are not expected to have a material impact on the nancial position, liquidity or results of operations of
the Company.
Deferred Costs
Premium taxes and commissions, the principal business acquisition costs, are deferred to the extent recoverable and
are amortized over the period during which the related premium is earned. Deferred costs are included in other assets.
Certain pre-rental and other expenses incurred by the Companys real estate limited liability corporation subsidiaries
are deferred and amortized over the lives of the various tenant leases.

36 FM Global Annual Report 2012
Note 1. Signicant Accounting Policies (continued)
Real Estate and Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the respective assets. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the asset disposed of and its related ac-
cumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in net realized
investment gains. The net book value of the Companys investments in land and buildings is included in real estate,
whereas the remaining net book value of the Companys occupied land and buildings, furniture, xtures and equip-
ment is included in premises and equipment.
Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Liabilities for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses are based on case estimates or reports from ceding
companies. Estimates of incurred-but-not-reported (IBNR) reserves are based on historical experience and
management analysis.
Although the above-described amounts are based on estimates, management believes recorded liabilities for un-
paid losses and loss adjustment expenses are adequate to cover the ultimate settlement cost of losses incurred.
These estimates are continually reviewed and adjustments to such estimates are reected in current operations.
Premiums
The Company issues term premium policies. The term premium is earned on a pro-rata basis over the life of the policy.
Recent Guidance on Existing Accounting Standards
In October 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)
No. 2010-26 Financial ServicesInsurance Accounting Standard Codication (ASC) 944: Accounting for Costs
Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts, which prescribes how costs incurred in the acquisi-
tion of new and renewal contracts should be capitalized. The required implementation date of ASU No. 2010-26
was for scal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2010-26 in 2011 and
determined there is no impact on its deferral policy or the consolidated nancial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820): Amendments to Achieve
Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments change
the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing
information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the Board does not intend for
the amendments in ASU No. 2011-04 to result in a change in the application of the requirements in ASC 820.
The required implementation date of ASU No. 2011-04 for non-public entities is scal years beginning after
December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04 and has determined that it will have no impact on
its consolidated nancial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05Comprehensive Income (ASC 220): Presentation of Compre-
hensive Income, which prescribes that an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the
components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous
Statement of Comprehensive Income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The required implementa-
tion date of ASU No. 2011-05 for non-public entities is scal years ending after December 15, 2012. The Company
adopted ASU No. 2011-05 and elected to present the total of comprehensive income/(loss), the components of net
income, and the components of other comprehensive income/(loss) in two separate but consecutive statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12Comprehensive Income (ASC 220): Deferral of the Effective
Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income which defers the requirement for entities to present reclassication adjustments, by component, on the
face of the nancial statements where net income and other comprehensive income are presented. The Company
will monitor future updates related to this deferral.
Reinsurance
In the normal course of business, the Company seeks to reduce losses that may arise from catastrophes or other
events that cause unfavorable underwriting results by reinsuring certain levels of risk with other insurance enterprises.
Reinsurance premium and losses and loss adjustment expenses ceded under these arrangements are accounted for
on a basis consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance
contract.
Retirement Income Plans and Postretirement Benet Plans Other than Pensions
Noncontributory retirement income plans cover the vast majority of employees. The Companys funding policy
is generally to contribute the net periodic pension cost each year, as determined pursuant to the guidance on
Compensation Employee Benets (ASC 715). However, the contribution for any year will not be less than the
minimum required contribution, nor greater than the maximum tax-deductible contribution.
The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benets for retired employees and their dependents.
The plan is contributory; with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contains other cost-sharing features,
such as deductibles and coinsurance. Current service and interest costs of postretirement health care and life
insurance benets are expensed on an accrual basis.
Investment- and Fee-Related Income
Investment-related income primarily consists of interest and dividends from the Companys investment portfolio
and income from leased ofce space, which is earned as services are provided, or over the term of applicable
leases. Fee-related income primarily consists of fees for ancillary services.

Under a securities lending program with an agent, the Company has temporarily loaned certain debt securities with a
fair value of $300,300 and $261,100 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2011,
the Company held total collateral values of $307,100 and $266,700 related to the securities lending program, of which
cash collateral recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $125,900 and $139,300, respectively.
Included in the Companys debt security portfolio are securities with unrealized losses deemed to be temporary.
The total unrealized loss on these securities was $5,300 (fair value of $448,600) at December 31, 2012, and $10,200
(fair value of $325,400) at December 31, 2011. The amount of loss that existed for 12 months or more was immaterial
for both 2012 and 2011. In reaching its conclusion that these impairments are temporary, the Company considered
issuer-specic circumstances as well as the fact that the Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities
until they recover in value or mature, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before
that time.
Included in the Companys equity security portfolio are securities with unrealized losses deemed to be temporary.
The total unrealized loss on these securities was $32,000 (fair value of $238,700) at December 31, 2012, and
$51,000 (fair value of $470,000) at December 31, 2011. The amount of loss that existed for 12 months or more was
immaterial for both 2012 and 2011. In reaching its conclusion that these impairments are temporary, the Company
considered the duration and severity of the decline as well as the near-term prospects of the issuer. The Company
believes these securities will appreciate over time, and the Company has the ability and intent to hold these
securities until such time.
During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, net realized investment gains on other securities were
$50,000 and $26,600, respectively.
Credit Risk
All investment transactions have credit exposure to the extent that a counterparty may default on an obligation to
the Company. Credit risk is a consequence of carrying investment positions. To manage credit risk, the Company
focuses on high-quality xed-income securities, reviews the credit strength of all companies in which it invests,
limits its exposure in any one investment and monitors the portfolio quality, taking into account credit ratings
assigned by recognized credit-rating organizations.

Note 3. Fair Value
The valuation techniques required by the Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820) guidance are based upon observable
and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reect market data obtained from independent sources,
while unobservable inputs reect market assumptions.
These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar
instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are
observable or whose signicant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Signicant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
The Company retains independent pricing vendors to assist in valuing invested assets. In compliance with the
Fair Value Measurements (ASC 820) guidance, the Company conducted a review of the primary pricing vendor,
validating that the inputs used in that vendors pricing process are deemed to be market-observable as dened
in the standard.
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of investment securities,
and they are included in Level 1.
When quoted market prices are unavailable, the Company uses quotes from independent pricing vendors based
on recent trading activity and other relevant information. Debt securities are priced by an independent vendor using
evaluated market pricing models that vary by asset class. These models incorporate available trade, bid and other
market information, and for structured securities also incorporate cash ow and, when available, loan performance
data. The pricing models apply available market information through processes such as benchmark curves, bench-
marking of similar securities, and sector groupings. The vendors also integrate observed market movements, sector
news and relevant credit information into the evaluated pricing applications and models. These investments are
included in Level 2 and are primarily comprised of the debt securities.
In infrequent circumstances, the pricing is not available from the pricing vendor, and is based on signicant
unobservable inputs. In those circumstances, the investment security is classied in Level 3.
The following table presents the Companys invested assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2012:

Total $ 9,521,400 $ 4,680,500 $ 4,840,900 $
All debt securities are measured at fair value and are classied as Level 2 with the exception of short-term securities which
are priced using quoted market prices and therefore classied as Level 1. See Note 2 for breakout of debt securities by
category.
All equity securities are priced using quoted market prices and classied as Level 1 with the exception of certain mutual
funds which are priced by the manager using other observable inputs and therefore classied as Level 2. See Note 2 for
breakout of equity securities by category.
There were no transfers of securities between Levels 1 and 2 in 2012 or 2011.
Securities lending collateral in 2012 and 2011 consists of highly liquid investments, which would be classied as Level 1 in
the fair value hierarchy.
Note 4. Membership Credit
The Companys Board of Directors approved a membership credit to policyholders for 2011 and 2010. Policyholders were
eligible for the membership credit upon renewal of their policies with inception dates between June 30, 2010 and June
29, 2011. The membership credit was recorded as a reduction of net premium earned.
Note 5. Reinsurance
The Company evaluates the nancial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk to minimize
its exposure to signicant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. While such evaluations minimize the Companys exposure,
the ultimate collection of reinsurance recoverables depends on the nancial soundness of the individual reinsurers. Gen-
erally, the reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers
to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; consequently, allowances are established for amounts
deemed uncollectible.
The effect of reinsurance on written premium is as follows:
Year ended December 31
2012 2011
Gross written premium $ 5,406,400 $ 5,164,100
Ceded written premium (1,721,100) (1,614,800)
Net written premium $ 3,685,300 $ 3,549,300
Ceded losses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were $1,038,700 and $1,484,800, respectively.

Note 6. Unpaid Losses and Loss Adjustment Expenses
Activity in the net liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses is summarized as follows:
Year ended December 31
2012 2011
Net balance at January 1 $ 3,322,200 $ 2,615,900
Net incurred related to:
Current year 2,287,400 3,373,300
Prior year (93,500) (274,200)
Total incurred 2,193,900 3,099,100
Paid related to:
Current year 949,300 1,410,000
Prior year 1,507,700 982,800
Total paid 2,457,000 2,392,800

Net balance at December 31 $ 3,059,100 $ 3,322,200
As a result of changes in estimates of insured events related to prior years, the provision for losses and loss
adjustment expenses decreased by $93,500 and $274,200 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decreases in
both years were due to reductions of incurred-but-not-reported (IBNR) reserves based on actual experience,
and decreases on a small number of individual losses. In establishing reserves for property losses there is some
uncertainty in managements estimates that cause these estimates to differ from ultimate payments.
In establishing the liability for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses related to asbestos, environmental and
other mass tort-related claims, which applies only to business that is now in runoff, management considers facts
currently known and the current state of the law and coverage litigation. Liabilities are recognized for known claims
(including the cost of related litigation) when sufcient information has been developed to indicate the involvement
of a specic insurance policy and management can reasonably estimate the Companys liability. Liabilities have also
been established to cover additional exposures on both known and unasserted claims. Estimates of the liabilities are
reviewed continuously. Developed case law and adequate claim history do not exist for such claims, primarily because
signicant uncertainty exists about the outcomes of coverage litigation and whether past claim experience will be
representative of future claim experience.
The Company is the subject of various asserted and unasserted claims and lawsuits covering a wide variety of
issues that arise out of the normal course of its business activities. Contingent liabilities arising from litigation and
other matters are not considered material in relation to the nancial position or operations of the Company.

During 2012 and 2011, depreciation expense for real estate and premises and equipment was $49,300 and $48,200,
respectively.
Note 8. Leases
In connection with its various operating ofces throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America,
the Company leases ofce space, automobiles, and equipment. These leases are classied as operating leases.
Future minimum lease payments at December 31, 2012, under operating leases with terms of one year or more, are in
aggregate $141,400. The future minimum lease payments for each of the ve succeeding years from 2013 to 2017 are
$37,100, $31,400, $22,500, $15,400 and $13,300, respectively.
During 2012 and 2011, rent expense for all operating leases was $44,000 and $47,600, respectively.
Note 9. Income Taxes
Current income taxes primarily represent the U.S. federal and foreign tax expense/(benet). The most signicant
components of deferred tax liabilities relate to net unrealized gains on investment securities, benet plans expense and
depreciation. Deferred tax assets primarily represent the U.S. tax effects of temporary differences relating principally to
discounting of unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses, adjustments to the net reserve for unearned premium, the
write-down of other than temporarily impaired investments and the pension and postretirement surplus adjustment.
The Company has established a valuation allowance for its foreign subsidiarys unrelieved foreign tax.
The components of the net deferred tax liability at December 31, 2012 and 2011, are as follows:
2012 2011
Total deferred tax liabilities $ (1,145,200) $ (998,000)
Total deferred tax assets 680,800 755,800

Note 9. Income Taxes (continued)
The following is the current and deferred income tax expense/(benet) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
2012 2011
Current income tax expense/(benet) $ 260,100 $ (94,300)
Deferred income tax expense 96,600 24,700
Total income tax expense/(benet) $ 356,700 $ (69,600)
The Company has not recognized a deferred tax liability for the undistributed earnings of certain of its wholly owned
foreign subsidiaries that arose in 2012 and prior years, because the Company does not expect those unremitted
earnings to reverse and become taxable to the Company in the foreseeable future. A deferred tax liability will be
recognized when the Company expects that it will recover those undistributed earnings in a taxable manner, such as
through receipt of dividends or sale of the investment. As of December 31, 2012, the undistributed earnings of these
subsidiaries were approximately $129,000.
In 2012, effective income tax rates differed from current U.S. statutory rates primarily as a result of the dividends
received deduction, tax-exempt income and the effect of foreign operations.
Income tax paid during 2012 and 2011 was $252,400 and $102,000, respectively. In addition, the Company received
income tax refunds of $133,300 and $24,000 during 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Companys unrecognized tax benets are immaterial and it does not expect any material changes within 12
months of the reporting date.
Note 10. Retirement Income Plans and Postretirement Benet Plans Other than Pensions
The Company sponsors a noncontributory retirement income plan covering the vast majority of employees.
The benets are generally based on years of service and the average of the highest consecutive 60 months of
the employees compensation within the 120 months prior to retirement. Generally, the Companys funding policy
is to maintain a sufciently funded level to ensure benet security and to vary contribution levels as appropriate
to business conditions. The Company also has supplemental retirement plans that are noncontributory dened
benet plans covering certain employees.
The Company provides health care and life insurance benets for certain retired employees and their dependents.
Employees not eligible for benets under pre-merger plan provisions, under age 30 as of January 1, 2000, or hired
after January 1, 2000, are ineligible for benets. Other employees may become eligible if they meet certain age and
service requirements. The plan is generally contributory; with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contains
other cost-sharing features, including deductibles and coinsurance.

Pension and Postretirement Plan Asset Investment Narrative
The investment policy of the Pension Plan species the type of securities that may be used, limits on the amount of
the asset classes and subclasses, and general principles used in managing the plans assets. The overriding objective
is to maximize long-term total return of plan assets within constraints established to control risk and volatility. Three
primary asset classes represent the rst layer of asset allocation, these being equity securities, debt securities, and
cash equivalents. Since equity securities are expected to provide the highest long-term total return, exposure to
equities is emphasized. Current approved ranges for the three asset classes are as follows:
Asset Class Range
Equity securities 50-80%
Debt securities 20-50%
Cash equivalents 0-10%
Equity securities include individual common stocks as well as equity mutual funds and private equity partnerships.
All equity investments are based on fundamental analysis of investment variables, including earning prospects,
cash ow, balance sheet strength, competitive positioning and other factors. Diversication is emphasized, with
specic size limits on individual stocks, international-oriented mutual funds, small capitalization-oriented funds and
private equity. Investment returns are benchmarked against standard indices including the S&P 500 and MSCI global
stock indices. In the taxable Postretirement Plan, equities are more heavily weighted based partly on favorable tax
considerations.
Debt securities include individual securities, primarily in the high-grade taxable subcategory, debt mutual funds, as
well as an outside managed portfolio of U.S. high-yield bonds. Debt securities are actively managed, using many of
the same investment disciplines as in the Companys general account. These disciplines include an intermediate-term
duration, diversication of securities, and ongoing analysis of the fundamental and valuation factors underlying the
securities owned.
Short-term investments, dened as debt securities with a maturity of less than one year, are held primarily for liquidity
purposes. Safety of principal is the primary consideration of investment in this asset class, and so only the highest
quality investments are used. This will principally be money market funds and commercial paper carrying the highest
quality ratings.

Note 10. Retirement Income Plans and Postretirement Benet Plans
Other than Pensions (continued)
Expected rate of return assumptions are created based on assessments of future behavior of asset classes. As part of
the process, historical relationships are considered. Using a three- to ve-year outlook, estimates of numerous variables
have been combined to gauge economic growth potential. Corporate cash ows are correlated with economic growth
but also reect productivity trends, with positive cash ow trends driving favorable return to equity owners. Debt security
returns are expected to approximate their historical relationship with equity securities and produce somewhat lower
returns with a lower level of volatility.
