The year-on-year increase in net premiums earned in each respective period was primarily driven by growth in our monthly IIF and monthly pay premium receipts, as well as a decline in the total premiums ceded under our reinsurance treaties.
−Removed: Net investment income was $20.7 million and $40.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, compared to $16.5 million and $31.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

The year-on-year increase in net investment income in each respective period was primarily driven by an increase in the book yield of our investment portfolio tied to the deployment of new cash flows and reinvestment of rolling maturities at incrementally higher rates, as well as growth in the size of our total invested asset base.
