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”.

Amlin P.L.C. posted pre-tax profit of £258.7 million ($399.3 million) for 2014, down 21% from 2013, in a more challenging trading environment, according to its CEO Charles Philipps.

Amlin, which operates syndicate 2001 at Lloyd’s of London and Switzerland and Netherlands-based underwriting platforms, said its combined ratio for 2014 was 89%, compared with 86% a year previously.

Amlin posted gross written premiums of £2.56 billion in 2014, up 3.6% from £2.47 billion in 2013, it announced Monday.

Insurer and reinsurer Amlin said its investment income was £118.5 million for 2014, down from £160.4 million in 2013.

In a web presentation, Mr. Philipps said that 2013’s investment income had been boosted by a strong performance in equities but that the 2014 investment income was creditable.

Mr. Philipps said that at the Jan. 1 renewal, rates fell on average by 4.1% across Amlin’s entire book of business, compared with a 2.1% decrease at the Jan. 1, 2013 renewal.
