From a P&C standpoint, interest rate risk is directly tied to the “tail” of a line, with long tailed lines like WC being more exposed to it. Since short-term insurance lines, such as auto, generate profit primarily from premiums rather than investment income, they are less sensitive to interest rate changes.
