Although the 2013 pure year continues to develop in line with plan, there have been further deterioration on the closed years. In particular, there is adverse movement on International GL (Australia especially) and general attritional deterioration on the professional indemnity account.

The 2014 account is performing broadly in line with plan, although the managing agent has decided to increase the forecast ultimate loss ratio at this stage.
