    While many people get excited about the impact of rising yields on QBE earnings, one factor overlooked is the impact of rising yields on the price of the current fixed income portfolio. QBE has been extending the duration of the fixed income book for the last two years to try to match the duration of the claims book, I'm guessing that is about 2-3 years duration. If so, the back up in yield evident since Mr Trump was elected might have a significant negative impact on P/L for the full year coming up. Any thoughts on this..?
