Investment summary
Beazley has made a positive start to the year. Compared with last year, the claims environment has been benign for industry natural catastrophe events and for the underlying book. Beazley’s 2011 catastrophe loss estimates also remain unchanged. Average premium rates across the book are up 2% and the 9% increase in gross premium written to date is in line with our full year expectation.

Industry outlook
US property catastrophe premium rates are increasing, with loss affecting international catastrophe reinsurance rates even more so. This is now supporting gentle increases in a range primary insurance rates, though not casualty. Investment returns remain stubbornly low.
