KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

We have maintained our emphasis on underwriting discipline and maximising risk adjusted returns through product diversification. The benefits of the strategic changes we have made to the business are now evident.

Strategic overview

Our strategy has always been to actively manage the market cycle and grow when the conditions are right. After investing in the business over the past few years, we are now achieving results that support more sustainable outcomes across the cycle.
