LONDON, May 5 (Reuters) - Lloyd's of London insurer Hiscox
recorded a 6.3% rise in gross written premiums to $1.26
billion in the first quarter, helped by strong growth in the
firm's London market and Europe divisions, it said on Wednesday.
Hiscox's board believes paying a dividend is a priority in
2021 and it will evaluate the situation ahead of interim
results, the firm said in a statement.
