Through it all, our people worked relentlessly to ensure customers get back on track quickly. Despite shouldering elevated catastrophe losses as a result, the business demonstrated tremendous resilience.
“We achieved mid-teens operating ROE (return on equity) and maintained a strong balance sheet with CA$2.7 billion of total capital margin. As we look ahead to 2024, we are well positioned for outperformance, given strong top-line momentum, continued underwriting discipline, and a refocused UK&I segment.”
The CEO also pointed to the firm’s increased dividends to common shareholders for the 19th consecutive year.
