risk factors in addition to the other information provided in this report , the following risk factors should be considered when evaluating an investment in our securities .
if the circumstances contemplated by the individual risk factors materialize , our business , financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and the trading price of our common shares could decline significantly .
risks relating to our business fluctuations in the financial markets could result in investment losses .
prolonged and severe disruptions in the public debt and equity markets , such as occurred during 2008 , could result in significant realized and unrealized losses in our investment portfolio .
for the year ended december 31 , 2008 , we incurred $ 695.8 million of realized investment gains and $ 310.4 million of unrealized investment losses .
although financial markets significantly improved during 2009 and 2010 , they could deteriorate in the future and again result in substantial realized and unrealized losses , which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations , equity , business and insurer financial strength and debt ratings .
our results could be adversely affected by catastrophic events .
we are exposed to unpredictable catastrophic events , including weather-related and other natural catastrophes , as well as acts of terrorism .
any material reduction in our operating results caused by the occurrence of one or more catastrophes could inhibit our ability to pay dividends or to meet our interest and principal payment obligations .
subsequent to april 1 , 2010 , we define a catastrophe as an event that causes a loss on property exposures before reinsurance of at least $ 10.0 million , before corporate level reinsurance and taxes .
prior to april 1 , 2010 , we used a threshold of $ 5.0 million .
by way of illustration , during the past five calendar years , pre-tax catastrophe losses , net of contract specific reinsurance but before cessions under corporate reinsurance programs , were as follows: .
