3.2.3 Investment income and expenses Financial income includes the revenue from investments received during the fiscal year (rent, dividends, coupon payments, interest on loans and current accounts). Other investment income includes the pro ‑ rata share in the discount on the bond redemption differences and reversals of reserves for loss in value of investments. Other investment expenses include the percentage of appreciation on the differences in redemption of bonds, and the depreciation allowance and reserves for investments, and the percentage of general expenses corresponding to investment ‑ management activities. The capital gains or losses on marketable securities are determined by applying the first ‑ in first ‑ out method (FIFO), and they are recorded in the income statement. For these same securities, a reversal is made during the year they are sold for the cumulative amortisation & impairment of the premium or discount recorded up to the date of sale. In non ‑ life insurance, investment income and expenses are recorded on the non ‑ operating income statement. A portion of financial income reverting to underwriting reserves is transferred to the non ‑ life underwriting income statement on a basis prorated to the underwriting reserves and shareholders’ equity.
