Alpha Comment
We are happy to see that syndicate 218 has produced a good profit, its best result since 2005, having benefitted from reduced vehicle use during the various UK COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020, a strong prior years reserve release and a positive investment return.
It is disappointing that the 2021 year of account has moved to just above a breakeven position but with a wide range at this stage.
