Bermuda-headquartered (re)insurer Arch Capital Group has released its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, and the numbers are mostly positive.
According to the global insurance group, its insurance segment posted an underwriting income of US$18.4 million – a massive turnaround from the US$28.2 million underwriting loss suffered by the unit in the same period in 2020.
The insurance segment’s gross written premium (GWP) improved as well, from US$1.2 billion previously to US$1.4 billion this time around.

Overall, the company’s GWP grew 19.9% to US$3.4 billion. Meanwhile net income available to Arch common shareholders rose from US$133.7 million in Q1 2020 to US$427.8 million in the corresponding period this year.
