Note: For the 2007 year only, the capacity of the Syndicate was effectively increased by £25 million as a result of including a qualifying quota share to Omega Specialty. The table above shows that the Syndicate has closed 2005 with a profitable 8.78% return despite the major hurricanes experienced, Katrina, Rita and Wilma. This return is after strengthening the net Katrina reserves by US$25 million to US$49 million to recognise the potential for further deterioration as a result of adverse outcome in ongoing class actions involving other insurers. The Syndicate has consistently outperformed the Lloyd’s market with 26 consecutive closed years of underwriting profitability and low volatility.
