How Lancashire fits among peers
Lancashire is a specialist insurer and reinsurer focused on property, energy, marine, aviation and specialty reinsurance lines, positioning it alongside peers such as Beazley, Hiscox and certain Lloyd’s-focused carriers in the London market.
According to the company’s latest annual report for 2024, gross premiums written increased year-on-year, supported by firm pricing conditions in many specialty lines and disciplined risk selection across its underwriting portfolio.
Friday view on the sector
Specialty insurers and reinsurers have generally benefited from a multi-year period of improved pricing, particularly in property catastrophe and selected specialty lines, even as competition remains intense and capital is mobile.
Against this backdrop, investors tend to compare Lancashire’s underwriting margins, combined ratios and capital management track record with peers when assessing relative value within the broader non-life insurance sector.
How the company makes money
Lancashire primarily generates revenue by underwriting specialty insurance and reinsurance policies in areas such as property catastrophe, energy, marine and aviation, earning premium income and investing the float, while aiming to keep its combined ratio below 100% over the cycle.
