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”.

According to a survey by Watson Wyatt Worldwide, up to 80% of nonlife and life insurers in the United Kingdom intend to take part in QIS4, the fourth impact study on the proposed risk-based capital regime.

But of 90 insurers surveyed, only 34% said they would undertake an advanced calculation for the Committee of European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Supervisors' QIS4, while the remainder said their submission to CEIOPS would be based on simple calculations.
