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”.

Bermuda underwriters surveyed by the Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers reported net income of $11.70 billion in 2013, an increase of 23.9% from 2012, the ABIR said Thursday.

The group of 18 insurers and reinsurers — out of 21— wrote $70.05 billion in premiums, a 5.5% increase over that of a year earlier. The group’s combined ratio was 85.0%, compared with 91.5% in 2012.

“The $11.7 billion in net income demonstrated earnings power during a year characterized by low catastrophe losses. But this number was still below net income reported by the membership in 2009,” said Bradley Kading, president and executive director of ABIR, in a statement.
