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”.

U.S. reinsurers reported a 93.5% combined ratio in 2009 vs. a 101.8% combined ratio for 2008, according to a survey of reinsurers by the Washington-based Reinsurance Assn. of America.

The 93.5% combined ratio reflects a 63.3% loss ratio and a 30.2% expense ratio.

Net premiums written were flat, with reinsurers reporting $23.91 billion in 2009 compared with $23.92 billion in 2008.

Policyholder surplus in 2009 totaled $77.32 billion, a 20.1% increase over 2008, the RAA said.
