The Solace Class portfolio delivered a strong investment performance with a 7.2% return during a volatile market downturn. Key contributors to this performance included long investments in gold, Brighthouse Financial, and Lanxis, with gold appreciating 19% over the quarter [1].
However, the company faced significant headwinds from the California wildfires, which resulted in a net wildfire loss of $23.6 million, contributing 14 points to the combined ratio [1]. The wildfires also led to a net underwriting loss of $7.8 million, resulting in a combined ratio of 104.6% [1].
The innovations segment reported a combined ratio of 94.3%, showing improvement and aligning with expectations. The company released $11 million of specialty and $8 million of property reserves, contributing positively to the financial results [1].
Looking ahead, the company expects the expense ratio in the innovation segment to normalize over time as the innovation's book of business grows. Greg Richardson, CEO, announced a shift in the casualty business approach, focusing on accessing casualty MGA business primarily through the innovations channel [1].
Greenlight Capital Re Ltd. reported a net income of $29.6 million or $0.86 per diluted share. The underwriting loss was $7.8 million, translating to a combined ratio of 104.6%. Their investments in the Solace Class fund contributed $32.2 million of income [1].
