Alpha comment
The 2020 forecast has seen the range narrow this quarter, reflecting the reducing uncertainty in the final year of development. We do not yet have the detail but it is likely that only a small amount of prior year reserve release is included in this modest forecast and therefore the ultimate result should improve in the remainder of this year.
It is interesting to see that the initial forecast for 2021 again sees a wide range from worst to best, but with a midpoint at its highest initial level since the 2016 year of account, suggesting more confidence that a positive result is achievable.
