Alpha comment
Although the 2019 result is disappointing, this is the second successive year to close with a result well above the midpoint of the previous forecast range, which highlights the strength of this syndicate’s reserves and the conservative nature of its forecasts. Whilst the 2020 year of account looks slightly better than 2019 at the same stage, it is still forecasting a small loss. The final result for 2020 will very much depend upon the development of the final year.
