Hiscox posted Interims last week. Gross premiums written increased by 9.2% to $2,649.8 million. Premium growth and portfolio adjustments lead to a strong underwriting result of $123.2 million (H1 2021: $99.8 million), up 23.4% on the prior period. The ultimate Group loss from all risks in Ukraine and Russia, including aviation, is $48 million net of reinsurance. The Group remains conservatively reserved with an 11.0% margin above actuarial best estimate and is strongly capitalised with BSCR of 200%. Investment performance was weak due to market conditions with a loss of $214.1m in the HY period. Valuation is average, the share price lacks momentum. HSX is a solid mid-cap insurance name and certainly worth monitoring, but there is no compelling rush to buy....

HSX doesn't seem to have taken the hit that other insurers are taking. Further to fall?

[bulltradept] 03/8/2022 08:21

Thoughts on these results anyone?

Sentiment looks strongly against the sector currently, look at the LRE share price.
I sold out of BEZ last week but will review on their early November update.
BEZ looks particularly interesting in cyber, IF their recent better claims experience
continues, however no recent BOD buying there.


ec,
thanks again for the info, much appreciated.

An interesting article in "The Insurer" today, regarding Hiscox's exposure to possible non-payment of COVID loss recoveries by reinsurers.

Lovely )).

Why are they keeping the figure secret? Surely it is strange for such a (hopefully) one off given it is a public company. It can surely only leak anyway to certain people.
