Outlook for 2009

Summary

Overall we see an improving outlook for the Group through 2009. January renewals confirmed an upward trend in rates which we expect to accelerate in many classes through the remainder of the year as capacity constraints become more onerous. Investment markets remain challenging but we will continue to seek to optimise returns with cautious risk parameters. With ample capital to deploy and superior ratings Amlin is already benefiting from increased demand for its capacity and all areas of the business are well positioned to take advantage of further opportunities for profitable growth.
