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”.

October 29, 2015 Reprints

Bermuda-based insurer and reinsurer Axis Capital Holdings Ltd.'s net income fell to $248 million in the third quarter of 2015, compared with $279 million reported in the third quarter of 2014, reports The Royal Gazette.

Axis' gross premiums written increased 4% to $937 million. Catastrophe and weather-related pre-tax net losses totaled an estimated $43 million, including $30 million from the Tianjin port explosion. Axis has been affected by volatility in its investment portfolio and "unusually high" offshore energy losses, said Axis chief executive Albert Benchimol.
