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”.

Alberta wildfire will be a manageable loss for Hiscox

May 11, 2016 Reprints

Hiscox Ltd.'s CEO Bronek Masojada said that the ongoing wildfire in Canada's Alberta province will be a "manageable" loss for the insurer, reported Reuters.

Mr. Masojada said that it is difficult to estimate losses so far as the fire has not been controlled yet.

Hiscox also reported a 10% increase in gross written premiums to £641 million ($923.4 million) in the first quarter of 2016.

Hiscox said it had minimal impact from events such as Brussels terror attacks and Storm Katie that hit Britain in March.
