1) The table shows the capacity as at 15th November 2019 splitting the capacity retained by Helios and the capacity that is ceded to quota share reinsurers.

2) The midpoint forecasts for 2017 and 2018 years of account as of 3rd quarter 2019 have been aggregated at syndicate level from estimates supplied by Managing Agents.

3) The change in the midpoint estimates on the retained capacity over the year will be recognised in the Helios income statement in the year to 31st December 2019.

 

Nigel Hanbury, Chief Executive, commented:

 

"As the only quoted consolidator of private capital at Lloyd's, Helios offers a unique opportunity for growth and returns from exposure to the Lloyd's market through targeted acquisitions of capacity on the better quality syndicates. We are delighted with the improvement in the results for both underwriting years and in the increased outperformance of the portfolio against the Lloyds' market"
