RLI is an insurance holding company. Through its subsidiaries collectively known as RLI Insurance Group, Co. is engaged in underwriting selected property and casualty insurance. Co. has three segments: casualty, which includes commercial excess and personal umbrella, general liability, commercial transportation, professional services, small commercial, executive products, and other casualty; property, which includes commercial property, specialty personal and other property coverages; and surety, which includes miscellaneous surety coverage, commercial surety bonds, and bonds for small to medium-sized contractors. The RLI stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the RLI stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2018 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the RLI annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
