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”.

The Zug, Switzerland-based insurer reported net written premiums of $771.6 million in the quarter, an 11.0% increase compared with the first quarter of 2013.

Allied World’s combined ratio improved to 79.9% for the quarter from 85.1% during the same period a year earlier.
