| ($ in millions) |  |  |
Total net investments managed by Third Point LLC(3) | $1,799.2 - $1,805.2 |  | $1,559.4 |  | 15% - 16% |

(1) TPRE’s investments are managed by its investment manager, Third Point LLC, under a long-term investment management contract. TPRE directly owns the investments, which are held in a separate account and managed by Third Point LLC. Net investment return represents the return on our investments managed by Third Point LLC, net of fees. The net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC is the percentage change in value of a dollar invested over the reporting period on our investment assets managed by Third Point LLC, net of non-controlling interest. The stated return is net of withholding taxes, which are presented as a component of income tax expense in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Net investment return is the key indicator by which we measure the performance of Third Point LLC, our investment manager.
(2) Combined ratio is calculated by dividing the sum of loss and loss adjustment expenses incurred, net, acquisition costs, net and general and administrative expenses related to underwriting activities by net premiums earned. The combined ratio compares the amount of net premiums earned to the amount incurred in claims and underwriting related expenses. This ratio is a key indicator of a reinsurance company’s profitability. A combined ratio greater than 100% means that loss and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs and general and administrative expenses related to underwriting activities exceeded net premiums earned.
(3) See additional information in Note 5 to TPRE’s consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and Note 5 to TPRE’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in this Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 20, 2015.
The financial and operating results for TPRE as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 included in the tables above have been derived from TPRE’s audited financial statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 20, 2015 and incorporated by reference herein.
The estimated financial operating results as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 reflect the following:
• The primary driver of TPRE's net income is the net investment return on investments managed by Third Point LLC, which was lower for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to the year ended December 31, 2013.
•TPRE's combined ratio improved primarily due to a lower general and administrative expense ratio compared to the prior year driven by proportionately higher net premiums earned.
•TPRE's increase in total net investments managed by Third Point LLC reflects net investment income and contributions of float generated by TPRE's reinsurance operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.
•The increase in TPRE's total shareholders' equity attributable to shareholders primarily reflects net income for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The estimated financial and operating results for TPRE’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 included in the tables above are preliminary, unaudited and subject to completion, reflect management’s current views, and may change as a result of management’s review of results and other factors, including a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties. The preliminary results are subject to the finalization of year-end financial and accounting procedures (which have yet to be completed) and should not be viewed as a substitute for full annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The actual results may be materially different from the estimated results. See the factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of TPRE’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 as well as any additional risk factors included in TPRE’s quarterly or interim reports since the date of the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The estimated financial and operating results presented in the tables above were not prepared with a view toward complying with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board guidelines with respect to prospective financial information. Neither our independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent registered public accounting firm has audited, reviewed or compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the estimated results, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on the estimated results.
