Argenta Breaks Down Lloyd’s Syndicate Forecasts

The anticipated results for the 2020 and 2021 years of account, which Lloyd’s announced, have been broken down by Lloyd’s managing agent Argenta for all syndicates supported by third party capital, along with an aggregate position for those syndicates with an aligned capital basis.

According to Argenta, the 2020 year of account is still marginal based on current predictions as of June 30th, 2022.

While rising inflation has caused central banks to raise interest rates, several syndicates are predicting weaker investment returns for the 2020 underwriting year.

Interest rates rise, bonds lose market value, syndicate investments are marked to market, and it is believed that this has the effect of undercutting the improvement in underwriting conditions.

However, the anticipation that the syndicate funds will produce higher returns on the 2021 year, which will be earned in the 2023 calendar year, is the corollary to the market losses in the 2020 year of account.

“At present, we see that managing agents have not begun to take this additional returns into account in their forecasts,” Argenta stated. “Of course, it is possible that the cycle of increasing interest rates will continue next year, so there is no certainty to the timing of these improved returns, although of course, in general, increased interest rates are good news for syndicate returns.”

For the 2021 year of account forecasts continue to be profitable, although the account contains the syndicate exposures arising out of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

In particular, the potential exposures to stranded aircraft remains a complicated issue, with exposures potentially falling to a range of policies, or equally possibly, none at all.
