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”.

Allied World Assurance's profits plummet

April 21, 2016 Reprints

Swiss insurer and reinsurer Allied World Assurance Co. Holdings A.G.'s profits slid more than 50% in the first quarter of 2016, reported The Royal Gazette.

Allied World's gross premiums also fell 1.9% year on year in the quarter. "The global markets insurance segment grew by 94.7% on a constant dollar basis," said Allied World. The firm's reinsurance segment posted a decline of 16% during the period. Allied World attributed this to a reduction in property catastrophe risk and the non-renewal of other property/casualty treaties.
