Underwriting Results 2024/25 Policy Year At the half year point the Club’s own incurred claims of US$45.3 million are up from recent years at the same point, but projected claims remain within budget expectations. Seven claims have been reported on the IG Pool that exceed Club retention, including one from Steamship. Three other Pool claims have been reported on a precautionary basis, which may develop into claims on the Pool. At six months, the incurred cost of these claims is slightly higher than budget. The forecast for the current policy year’s underwriting result reflects a modest deficit. 2023/24 and Prior Years At six months the overall development of the Club’s prior year claims, and its contributions to other Clubs’ Pool claims, was favourable with a reserve release of US$8.7 million. Investments Total assets amount to approximately US$1.5 billion. In the seven months ending September 2024, the Club recorded a return of 5.5%, excluding currency movements, amounting to US$77 million. 2025/26 Premium Ratings Premium levels are under pressure due to the increasing cost of claims and premium churn. Considering these and other factors, the Board decided that there should be a general increase of 5% in premium ratings for all classes of business.
