BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

HONG KONG (Reuters)—Britain's No.1 insurer Prudential P.L.C. on Thursday said it will buy SRLC America Holding Corp. from Swiss Re A.G. for 398 million pounds in cash.

It said the purchase would be made through Prudential's U.S. subsidiary, Jackson National Life Insurance Co.

Trading in Hong Kong-listed shares of Prudential was suspended earlier on Thursday pending the release of price-sensitive information, the Hong Kong stock exchange said.

Prudential last closed down 1.6% at HK$82.80 in Hong Kong and its London-listed shares closed down 3% at 673 pence.
