FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund made the following comment about RLI Corp. (NYSE:RLI) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:

RLI Corp. (NYSE:RLI) is a high-quality specialty insurer with a collection of niche and arcane lines across property & casualty (P&C). RLI has an attractive combined ratio and return on equity, 9 a conservative underwriting culture and growth opportunities. Despite its full price, we continue to hold RLI because of its high quality and our reluctance to trade in and out. The insurance sector as a whole performed well last year, but RLI got a boost from strong Q3 2022 earnings and the sale of its equity stake in sunglass manufacturer Maui Jim.”
