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”.

XL Group likely to record cat loss of nearly $1.5 billion

October 12, 2017 Reprints

Bermuda-based insurer and reinsurer XL Group Ltd. said that it is likely to record a net catastrophe loss of nearly $1.5 billion for the third quarter, largely due to outlays for hurricane claims, The Royal Gazette reported. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria accounted for more than $1.3 billion of the loss. The three storms contributed approximately 25%, 40% and 25%, respectively, to the reinsurer's loss, with 10% related to other catastrophes such as the Mexican earthquakes and typhoon Hato. The net loss is almost evenly split between XL's insurance and reinsurance segments.
