At the recent Board meeting, the Club has considered its financial position and decidedthe renewal requirements as above. In addition, the Club circular sets out the mainhighlights:
P&I and FD&D Mutual
- The Club made positive progress at the last renewal towards its goal of breakevenunderwriting, and 2022/23 is forecast to show further improvement due tounusually low level of claims activity so far this policy year, both in respect of thefrequency and cost of Club’s own large claims, but also in respect of large claimsin the International Group Pool where to date only one claim has been reported.
- Whilst the investment portfolio remains defensively positioned, all asset classeshave poorly performed this year, although these losses are largely paper losses.The Club’s capital remains in excess of the AAA capital requirement under S&Pmodel and Club retains the current S&P’s “A” rating.
- Despite the unusually low level of claims in the current year, the board isconscious that with a more normal pattern of claims, premium levels would stillrequire to be further increased so as not to erode the Club’s capital strength infuture years.
- The board is also mindful of the potential future impact of inflation on claims costs.
- Any adjustment in cost in respect of the International Group excess of lossreinsurance programme will be passed to owners/members.
- No call is expected in addition to Estimated Total Premium (ETP) for all openpolicy years and release call percentages will remain at the levels set by the boardearlier this year.
