People trust us, first and foremost, to be there when it matters most. To do that, we must remain strong financially through both good and bad economic times.
At year-end 2010, Allstate held $19.0 billion in capital, more than two and a half times the amount of our debt. We have a conservative and well-diversified investment portfolio.
Financial strength not only ensures we meet the needs of customers. It rewards shareholders, helps us hire and keep talented employees, makes us more efficient and lets us invest for the future. Those investments include social responsibility, because it's integral to our vision for the company.
In addition to protecting financial strength, our 2010 corporate priorities were to improve customer loyalty, improve returns, and reinvent to differentiate Allstate from the competition.
Those priorities, combined with proactive steps taken in recent years, helped Allstate increase net income by 9 percent in 2010, to $928 million. Overall book value increased by 14.5 percent to $35.32 per share and total return to shareholders was 8.8 percent.
Allstate remains one of the strongest companies in our industry. Both Allstate Insurance Company and Allstate Life Insurance Company received an A.M. Best financial strength rating of A+ (superior).
