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”.

Swiss Re Ltd. on Wednesday denied that it was in discussions with the Agnelli family about the Italian dynasty taking a stake in the reinsurer.

“Contrary to market speculation, Swiss Re is not in discussion with the Agnelli family or any of its investment vehicles regarding the possible acquisition of a stake in Swiss Re,” the reinsurer said in a statement.

Swiss Re's shares had risen 6% early Wednesday after speculation that a trust controlled by the Agnelli family was looking to buy a stake in the reinsurer.

The Agnelli family, which founded Italian auto company Fiat S.p.A. among other firms, represents the largest holdings on the Italian stock exchange.
