Arch Capital Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:ACGL) Files An 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure
Arch Capital Group Ltd. today announced that it expects that 2017 second quarter pre-tax underwriting income will be adversely impacted by approximately $38 million relative to the quarterly run rate level of profitability associated with its property facultative reinsurance operations. Such activity related to losses incurred on a small number of contracts across multiple underwriting years and represents an unusually high level of activity for the property facultative reinsurance unit. Since its inception in 2007, the property facultative reinsurance unit has consistently produced significant underwriting profits for the Company.
Arch Capital Group Ltd., a Bermuda-based company with approximately $10.84 billion in capital at March 31, 2017, provides insurance, reinsurance and mortgage insurance on a worldwide basis through its wholly owned subsidiaries.
