Performance Update

CHL, the ultimate parent company of Conduit Re, a pure-play Bermuda-based reinsurance business, today provides an update in respect of its results for the year end 31 December 2023.

CHL will announce its preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2023 on 21 February 2024. Comprehensive income for the year is now estimated to be greater than current consensus forecasts. The primary driver for the positive variance relates to the valuation of investments.

In the second half of 2023 the overall reduction in interest rates has led to substantial investment portfolio valuation gains. CHL has previously quantified and disclosed the modelled impact of interest rate movements in the risk disclosure note to the financial statements. CHL's investment strategy remains unchanged from that previously reported.
