Investment income increased $20.5 million from the first six months of last year primarily due to gains on the sale of equities, offset by the impact of increasing interest rates.
Claims incurred for the six months ending Aug. 31 decreased by $4.5 million compared to last year due to a decrease of $11.2 million in bodily injury claims.
Earlier this year, MPI applied for a rate hike of 1.8 per cent.
