      <image:title>Alpharay Insurance Services - Advisory</image:title>
      <image:caption>Drawing upon our extensive financial services experience — each of our principals has over 20+ years of highly successful Wall Street experience — we have developed a cloud-based proprietary capital and portfolio allocation model for P&amp;C companies. We calculate and update the Achievable Capital Efficiency Rating, or ACE Rating, for virtually all US P&amp;C companies several times per year. If a company’s actual capital efficiency is lower than its ACE Rating, then the P&amp;C company can improve its profitability by following our recommended capital allocation and portfolio management policy. Our analysis indicates that significant money — billions of dollars in aggregate — is left on the table by the US P&amp;C industry by not allocating capital efficiently. Proactively positioning investment portfolios to handle the current low-rate environment while maintaining sound financial strength even under stressed market conditions can unlock tremendous shareholder &amp; policyholder value.</image:caption>
