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”.

Specialty insurer and reinsurer Sompo Canopius A.G. and Mexico City-based insurer Grupo Nacional Provincial SAB said Tuesday that they have formed a strategic partnership.

The arrangement would enable the companies to develop new business and insurance products for the Mexican market and would enable GNP to broaden its portfolio to include international risks through participation in Sompo Canopius' multiline Lloyd's of London syndicate 4444, the companies said in a joint statement.

GNP underwrites commercial and personal lines insurance including property/casualty, auto, life and health and posted premium volume of $2.73 billion for 2015, according to the statement.
