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”.

Recent nat cat losses may exceed reinsurers' catastrophe budgets: J.P. Morgan

May 10, 2016 Reprints

Analysts at J.P. Morgan Cazenove Ltd. said that losses from recent natural catastrophes such as the Japan quakes and wildfires in Canada's Fort McMurray are likely to top the catastrophe budgets of major reinsurers, reported Artemis.bm.

"Our conclusion is that Munich Reinsurance Co., Swiss Re Ltd. and SCOR S.E. may have a potential impact equivalent to 8-11% of second-quarter net profit," said the analysts.

They said that the quakes and wildfire could cost Swiss Re and Munich Re about $468 million and $410 million, respectively.
