The Club has not incurred any claims which have exceeded its US$10 million retention and gone into the IG Pool. Seven pool claims have been notified by other IG Clubs that exceed Club retention. Incurred costs in the pooling layers compare favourably to the average of recent policy years. 2022/23 and Prior Years The overall development of the Club’s own claims for prior years has been favourable. The development of IG Pool claims has also been better than expected, notably for the 2022 policy year which remains at low levels in contrast to earlier years. Investments In the 11 months ending January 2024 the Club’s investments, excluding currency movements, recorded returns of US$87 million or 7.0% with bonds, equities and cash all ahead of budget.
