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”.

Reinsurance to cover most of insurer’s New Zealand quake claims

November 28, 2016 Reprints

Australian insurer Suncorp Group Ltd.'s subsidiary Vero Insurance New Zealand Ltd. expects its "strong reinsurance arrangements" to cover "all expected claims" from the magnitude-7.8 earthquake that struck New Zealand on Nov. 14, Artemis.bm reports. Vero has received more than 1,000 claims from the quake. A few insurance-linked securities funds managers said that there is a chance of some minor losses falling to the ILS market through collateralized reinsurance and retrocession contracts. U.S.-based AIR Worldwide estimates loss from the quake to range between $762 million and $3.5 billion.
