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”.

Mr. Kent said that the underlying retrocession and reinsurance pricing remained mismatched. Most insurance-linked securities' players replenished lost and trapped collateral and a number of traditional reinsurers returned to the retro space which dampened the potential for price rises at the renewals, he added.
