Highlights of results from the quarter include:
"Our first quarter results reflect continued progress against our underwriting initiatives as we grew our premium base through a combination of rate increases and new business opportunities and delivered an 89% combined ratio," said Thomas S. Gayner and Richard R. Whitt, Co-Chief Executive Officers. "These results further demonstrate the effects of our ongoing focus on underwriting and expense discipline."
"Our Markel Ventures businesses grew revenues by an impressive 35% through a combination of strong organic growth and contributions from our 2021 acquisitions. Our investing results reflected the impact of rising interest rates on our fixed maturity portfolio and unfavorable market value movements on our equity portfolio during the quarter. We maintain our focus on the long-term performance of our investment portfolio, which has been quite strong," Gayner and Whitt remarked. "We are excited about our start to the year and look forward to taking advantage of opportunities across our businesses throughout 2022."
We believe our financial performance is most meaningfully measured over longer periods of time, which tends to mitigate the effects of short-term volatility and also aligns with the longer-term perspective we apply to operating our businesses. We generally use five-year periods to measure our performance. Over the five-year period ended March 31, 2022, the compound annual growth in book value per common share was 10%. Over the five-year period ended March 31, 2022, our share price increased at a compound annual rate of 9%.
