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”.

HAMILTON, Bermuda— Omega Insurance Holdings Ltd. said it expects its syndicate 958 to produce a profit of between 4% and 11% of capacity for the 2005 year of account.

Omega said that the syndicate, which had £224 million ($434 million) capacity for the 2005 year and the 2004 year of account, is expected to produce a 5% to 10% return on capacity for 2004.

"The 2006 year of account, whilst at a very early stage, is benefiting from robust underwriting conditions and an encouragingly low level of incurred losses," the company said in a statement.

Syndicate 958, which specializes in short-tail property insurance and reinsurance, has capacity of £249 million ($482 million) for 2006.

Omega in February set up a specialty insurance company in Bermuda and in November the holding company redomiciled to Bermuda.
