2. Composition of investments Total investments were dominated by cash and liquid assets and
fixed-interest securities with an insignificant amount of real estate.
The proportion of cash and liquid assets and fixed-interest securities
to total investments increased slightly over the 12-month period
ending 31 December 2016, from 84% to 87%. QFC insurers were
expected to maintain a high proportion of their investments in liquid
assets given the short-term nature of the firms’ insurance liabilities,
which were predominantly motor and health insurance-related.
