Tokio Marine Holdings (8766) — moat facet

Delphi is Tokio Marine's largest American earner, and most of what it earns comes from investing $45 billion.

Delphi Financial Group, which includes Reliance Standard Life and Safety National1, earned ¥188.4 billion on the business-unit measure in the latest year, up from ¥128.6 billion2, the largest profit of the American businesses. Its net premiums written were ¥658.9 billion3.

Up nearly half.

Delphi's business is employee benefits and excess workers' compensation, and its earnings depend heavily on investment income. Its investment balance was $45.0 billion at December 20254. North American assets under management earn an income yield of 5.6%5.

That makes Delphi an investment business as much as an underwriting one. Higher interest rates have helped it; they also produced the commercial real estate losses.

Delphi's premiums grew from ¥635.8 billion to ¥658.9 billion in the latest year6. Its profit growth, from ¥128.6 billion to ¥188.4 billion7, was much faster than its premium growth, which points to investment income as the driver.

The measure is Delphi's profit. Its jump in the latest year reflects investment returns; holding it would show the portfolio earning steadily.
