RLI Corp.
RLI Corporation (RLI) is a US-focused specialty insurer known for selective underwriting in small-to-medium commercial property and casualty lines, specialty commercial, personal insurance and surety products. With a market capitalisation of about $5.6 billion, RLI aims to combine disciplined risk selection with conservative reserving and a modest investment portfolio to generate profit. Investors should note RLI’s niche approach can deliver relatively stable underwriting margins in favourable loss environments, but results remain sensitive to catastrophe losses, economic cycles and investment returns. The company’s scale is smaller than large multi-line insurers, which may mean less diversification but also the potential for focused profitability if underwriting and pricing remain disciplined.

Before considering any position, investors should assess suitability, risks and time horizon and may wish to consult a qualified financial adviser.
